> It’s just a game for them to popularize code breaking
Do they really want to do that - considering these talented people might use their code breaking skills against the government? ;-)

There are even sites that teach you about bad modern cryptography, like cryptohack [0] but in general the kind of skills you learn there won't be useful either unless you happen to find a piece of software that rolled their own crypto and did something really dumb (which does happen, occasionally, see the Sony PS3 hack where they used a not-so-random value for crypto, which made it broken)
As Sun Tzu says in The Art of War:
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
Please provide a T-F truth table to show that the proposition is false.
Clue: you already have the answer and Sun Tzu has provided three-quarters of it
