What you do with your own data is your decision, but if these details are enough for you to _recommend_ that other people not use it, then your advice needs to come with an "I ignore math in favor of uninformed prejudice" disclaimer, because you're making things worse with your security mysticism.

That wouldn’t be a disclaimer that is accurate, so I don’t think I would use it.

Anyone who takes my security recommendations is already familiar enough of my math vs informed prejudices balance.
