It makes me very sad to contemplate that you think I denigrated or
discouraged TLS encryption, as I certainly nowhere did. I could have
sworn that I was clear that I encourage it, and in any event was _very_
clear that I was addressing the huge problems with the CA
infrastructure, which is a different thing entirely, and has nothing at
all to do with the merits of TLS or any other form of encryption.

I'm sorry that you so thoroughly misunderstood what I said. Oh well.
