  I don't understand your hostility. There's nothing in what I wrote or in the way I wrote that would suggest to a good faith reader that my opinion is absolute, that I consider my opinion fact, or that my knowledge is all-encompassing. In your own words I merely "thought about it" - a phrase that means exactly just that, and nothing more. In a way, it's literally a request for further thoughts by others to make up for what I might have not thought of; the exact admission you're looking for, just stated implicitly. It's immensely frustrating to dress up a natural language sentence with enough precision to try and account for all and every bit of nuance, so you should anticipate and actively consider that I have missed or implied some. Despite this, you clearly did not, and instead went into attack mode on the assumption(!) that I did miss them intentionally. I'd recommend you take your own advice on intellectual humility before offering it to others.

  > OPs point is far more interesting and deserves more discussion The idea of "cryptographically signed photos coming out of cameras"? It's been discussed to death and is essentially a hope for magic technology to solve our social problems. Also it won't work, technically: it's like asking for perfect a DRM implementation to be universally implemented everywhere.
