A medical doctor prescribing a treatment plan and drugs would be akin to a trusted coworker crypto expert telling me to "do x with libsodium" without further explanation.

On the other hand, getting crypto advice from random bloggers and HN commenters is akin to getting a medical treatment plan and drugs from random bloggers and HN commenters.

Except that these aren't random bloggers and HN commenters, there are some world-renowned security experts on this very thread saying "do x with libsodium".

If you can't be bothered to read their profiles or understand who they are, I refer back to my point about arguing from a position of ignorance.
