Your prior comment was for newcomers?
"How is it encrypted, with what algorithm? was the alg implemented securely? who has the decryption keys? how were the keys generated? were they generated from a good enough entropy source? "
This was writting for people with quite a bit of knowledge. Newcomers would have absolutely no idea what any of it means.

no, it was for everyone.
the point was not to explain how encryption works, but to paint a picture about how many details matter a lot, so that the reader can know that just some kind of “encryption” does not mean much
