    Well maybe the community as a whole works like that but not on a cipher
    by cipher basis. AES was secure first time around.. Sure it learn't from
    the cryptanalytic results of other ciphers but this is much different
    from your process.

    Besides, We know for example that BBS can't be broken unless you can
    efficiently factor. They proposed the design and then proved the result
    in the same paper. There's was no trial and error in that design at all.

    Simon.

    ps. Does anyone have a copy of the original paper BBS.. It's impossible
    to find via google :P
