It's a fairly safe assumption that a person from India, where EVMs have been in widespread use since the late 1990s, with the first fully-EVM general election almost a decade and a half ago in 2004, has seen an electronic voting machine. (-:
Ironically, the argument that you make about how hard it is to rig a paper election is exactly the same as the argument that the supporters of EVMs and the ECI make about how hard it is to rig the EVM system. It claims that there are roughly 1.5 million machines that one would have to tamper with, randomly assigned to voting stations (which one would have to predict ahead of time), and monitored by canditates' electoral agents and the police all of whom you would have to threaten/bribe. You're both making the same argument.
