Thank you for being the voice of reason. It's so easy to get confused, too, because "crypto code" is indistinguishable from "other code", but the implications are much greater. You don't need to peer review a IRC library, but you _need_ to peer review cryptography. That's just how it is, and if I had to highlight one sentence from your comment it would be "Failing to understand the math first means you have already failed and simply should not have even begun." I wish people would understand this instead of thinking trial and error works for cryptography. I mean, heck, most of us learned to code through trial and error, and I can understand why people think they can learn cryptography the same way, but that is not true, and a very toxic mindset.
