Wow, this reasoning is getting better all the time.
How about this: I'll encrypt a message with AES, post the password/key
for that message on a public message board so my buddy can read it, and
then send him an email containing the encrypted message.
That's secure right?
The issue brought up has to do with authentication, not encryption.
Authentication has to be good, or else encryption is 100% worthless.
