The problem is, 128 bit is twice as secure as 127bit.. ;-) The think,
128bit, jumped to 196 bit ... still seems like small numbers to me (one
of the comments I got from a CIO before...)

Also, they say things like, "yes, but people DO get struck by lightning!"

They fail to see the scope/size of these numbers..
