But that is telling you something. Not a lot, and not exactly what it is, but
still something. It is enough for nodes to start selectively censoring, or
cancer nodes to be discriminantly destructive (a node only cancers on one type 
of
data would filter out a lot slower, even with such systems, then one that does
not). It makes a dictionary attack on the keyword for KHK much easier, and fact
is that there are types that are used almost exclusively for transfers of
censored data (not mp3 maybe, but anyone who ever copied DOS games remembers
things like RAR and ARJ, which were hardly used elsewhere - or possibly even
data files for a banned program).
