Other guy was right. Think about this easy scenario

Again, it isn't to prove the encryption works, it is only a test that could prove that it doesn't work.

Ah, yea, I got the argument backwards. I thought he was saying if content wasn’t blocked that it proved encryption worked. Can’t prove the negative.
