On the contrary, I just want the dumbed down version. I’m not ever going to implement it (nobody should RYO crypto unless you really know what you’re doing), nor am I going to have to rely on the knowledge in my daily life - I’m not a maths educator, and I’m certainly not a cryptographer.
It’s still good to understand the basics.
I learnt a lot about PKI by forcing myself to learn the absolute basics of modulo, but I’ll never implement it or do a full calculation.
