So would you agree that holding the keys to someone's house is also a privacy violation? What if instead of keys, you were holding a set of lockpicks? Would everyone's privacy of home be immediately violated?

The problem I have with the grizzledExpert-style responses is that their stance usually assumes a postion of hand-holding; that is, often it's assumed the BaffledNewb is misguided in their thought process (which they are in the examples given), but also that giving them an answer to a question they haven't thought to ask is the best course of action.

I think that if the BaffledNewb is allowed to encounter the consequences of obtaining literal answers to their questions, they'll have a better understanding of why their original question was misguided, and in the future (hopefully) learn to ask questions in a better manner as well as more fully understanding why the answer to their original question is not the best answer.

So, I saw this and wanted to see if it could decode output of something I saw earlier: http://patriciopalladino.com/files/hieroglyphy/

I took the source of a sample pasted here and ran it through the heiroglyphy generator:

var expect = function(val) { return "string" == typeof val; };

which output something along the lines of (truncated):

[][(![]+[])[!+[]+!![]+!![]]+([]+{})[+!![]]+(!![]+[])[+!![]]+(!![]+[])[+[]]][([]+{})[!+[]+!![]+!![]+!![]+!![]]+([]+{})...

But JSNice was unable to deobfuscate this code. Any ideas why?
