>> A. I don't want to get tortured, and ensuring that I can't decrypt your data protects me.

There is a line in RickAndMorty about this, which I won't repeat here. To paraphrase: the one thing worse than bring tortured for information you have is being tortured for information you don't have.



Right, which is why I try to make it very clear to everyone that there's no point torturing me. The problem is if someone thinks you have information which you don't in fact have; if they know you don't have the information, why would they waste their time?
