I'd rather have you file a CoC violation report sooner, rather
than later. Mostly, my arguments consist of me stating that I don't
know what's going on, and that half the discussions that have
occurred keep going above my head. I have a tendency to express
this confusion. I don't pretend that what I'm saying benefits the
community, or that I've contributed at all.

  However, making a blanket statement that I have surface-level /
LLM familiarity with these subjects, doesn't help clue me in to the
discussion. It only appears to to alienate me, and it appears to be
an ad hominem. *Of course* if I express confusion regarding a
subject, I will likely have very surface-level knowledge of it.
This is obvious to anyone who has read my posts/emails. I don't
know much about cryptography/RPM itself, and the people who read
what I've said, *know* that.

  I think technical accuracy matters *far more* for an engineering
discipline, more than a "positive" environment. I think it would be
better to make pedantic corrections, and to specify the specifics
of how things are to be done within any given discussion.
Otherwise, are we *really* doing *engineering* work here?

  That isn't to say that you or I should throw random ad hominems,
and expect them to actually matter; or to spread negativity for the
sake of spreading negativity. However, I believe there are some
real issues that need to be discussed.

  I don't think this approach is a problem. So go ahead and file
that CoC report already. I don't care.
