> The FBI just revealed ...

It would be a better analogy if they had actually revealed anything, instead of just saying that they had. This was more like telling us which door had a car behind it and trusting us to believe them.

It's true, I wish they had shown us a zero-knowledge proof (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof) that they had cracked it.

At least then we would know that this isn't just to escape an unfavorable court ruling.
