Just because you can imagine how a thing could theoretically be broken does not make it broken. It's like saying a prisoner has the same freedoms as everyone else because he could theoretically escape.

It's not an apt analogy. The prisoner's every move is guarded; the camera is free in your hands to be disassembled.

It's not a theory, I've done it. Here's a cryptographically signed + timestamped photo of me winning the lottery: https://verify.contentauthenticity.org/?source=https%3A%2F%2Fretr0.id%2Fstuff%2Fnocors%2FPXL_20260828_135842548.jpg https://verify.contentauthenticity.org/?source=https%3A%2F%2... Would you like to buy my winning ticket from me?

  Prisoners escaping from prison is not a theory either, prisoners have actually escaped. Does that mean all prisoners are free?

    This is a terrible analogy. In cryptography, once any SINGLE person in the world has compromised a signing key, EVERY person in the world can use it. Thus for a prisoner analogy, its equivalent to say once any SINGLE prisoner escapes, EVERY prisoner has the ability to escape. So yes, in this terrible analogy it means all prisoners are free.
