      Everybody knows you use a toaster, not a microwave, for Time Travel.

  You're telling me governments use computers? That's insane, I don't believe it. Next you'll be telling me they're on the internet too.

    Don’t worry. Most branches still prefer the Fax to the Computer.

  Would you agree that Signal does sealed sender to protect metadata? If there were flaws in this system, then should we not discuss it?

    Sure, but everything is flawed. So we need to find the best solution that is least flawed. Signal is the best alternative to messaging apps that has the features most people want and most importantly people actually use it. It’s at a good intersection of useful and secure. If the article headline was “Evaluating security of Signal” it would be fine. But it’s basically “SIGNAL IS FLAWED! USE SOMETHING ELSE!”. That’s like when someone switches from Chrome to Firefox, which is objectively a better choice, and then they get told “Don’t use Firefox is BAD” and point them to Brave, and when Brave has a flaw they tell people to migrate again. So you get a minority of people using the bleeding edge apps that no sane person would want to spend the time to set up, and the majority just goes back to whatever is the easiest option, which would be Chrome, or in our example probably WhatsApp. It’s important to address concerns, but also to do it in a manner that is careful to not start a panic where one doesn’t need to exist.
