Protecting against transmission error, bit rot, etc is just common

I agree that this is extremely useful.

But the ability to do this in a space that can't "hold" the full data
set is exactly why we have streaming capability.

And, I also want to preserve the ability to stream data.


AEAD catches not only these errors, but also providers ciphertext
integrity.

Are you arguing like Werner that catching transmission errors is
enough and that we shouldn't bother with ciphertext integrity?
