I understand all of this. But wiping means what it does, and "removing the keys of an encrypted partition" is not the same. Please be more forthcoming in the documentation.

Sure Daniel

This is just pedantic and dishonest. 'Wiping data' as a concept very much so includes cryptographically scrambling it and losing the key.

No, you are redefining "wipe". A copy of the key could be stored in malicious hardware, ready for the authorities to copy.

The trust you people put in Google and Motorola is surprising.
