So do you have to be born a crypto expert then? I get what you are saying but the idea that people should not try to learn is ridiculous. If someone is truly interested they need to be told to go ahead. Encourage caution, but not ignorance. When someone asks why ECB is bad then tell them, or tell them to go read up on it.

No. I've never seen anyone criticize someone for working with and asking about questions about developing attacks on crypto. It's only when people "Show HN" their latest tool for protecting dissidents from foreign governments, or protecting financial transactions, that people catch flack for going the DIY route.
