What you mean to say is that One-time-pad can be broken by replacing
the one-time-pad by something else entirely and then performing
cryptanalysis on the output of the something else.

Bank vault broken by drilling a two-meter hole in the door.

PGP broken by replacing PGP with ROT13.

AIDS cured by replacing AIDS with Cholera

Footrace won by replacing human with horse.

Poker won by replacing cards with Aces.
