This is basically the cryptographic equivalent of claiming up is down,
black is white, true is false, etc.

The very act of making such a claim demonstrates only that you're a
clueless crackpot and you don't know what you're talking about.

Many, many, many people have have tried to explain this to you over and
over and over. At this point there are only two possible conclusions in my
mind:

1) You are intentionally trolling people to provoke a response
2) You are suffering from a mental illness

In either case, I have come to the conclusion that you are beyond hope and
the best thing I can do is ignore you.
