No, what I wrote is nothing like that. Please re-read until you understand it better.
Of course it is like that. You're saying that the complaint is wrong because the author doesn't know the history, and now you accuse me of not understanding you, because I pointed this out.
If you have to accuse everyone of "not understanding", maybe you're the one who doesn't understand.
That's not at all what he said. He literally even said "He’s not wrong in principle."
If you don't understand the history of why something is the way it is you can't fix it. You can suggest your new "perfectly secured web site" but if Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Firefox, Apple, etc. don't agree on your new protocol then there's going to be exactly 1 person using it.

I'd not heard of that before, thanks!
