You assume facts that are nowhere cited. Care to back that up? Maybe
they legitimately thought at the time when PCs were still 1.7MHz 6502s
that a 56-bit key would be adequate and nobody in their right mind
would keep using it 32 years later.

Also, number of systems secured by AES: millions. By scottu19: zero.

Even assuming your method is secure, it's wholly impractical so the
argument is moot anyways.

See others can play the snide remark game too, weeeeee, isn't this
fun.
