This gets across my point perfectly well. I rest my case.

Sean Devlin has talked a bunch of people through actually writing these attacks in cryptopals set 8. We talked English professors through the "number-theoretic" attacks on RSA in cryptopals set 6. It's fine if you don't want to dip into this stuff, but I'm not OK with the pretense that this intuition is somehow unattainable.
We need more people playing with these attacks, and fewer people trying to assemble new cryptosystems out of libraries they understand only from the documentation on the web page.
The English professor finished set 8 as well!
If I can teach random furries how to break RSA, I think it's safe to say that anyone determined can gain the necessary intuition.
I had to take a hiatus for a few weeks but I'm going to be working through the Cryptopals sets in the coming weeks, starting tomorrow.
