   True if you choose to close your eyes it makes it difficult
to see other points of view. However most of the little add ons
seem to be done on purpose to make them nonbijective. Look at
the NIST simple bijective padding which I suggested using. If was
based on why add information to crypto if it can only hurt. Yet
you and others continue strongly to argue that who cares if its
slightly better since you are putting all your hopes on complexity
and purposely leaving the other hooks in to make the break easier
if complexity fails.
