What I heard, to be clear, was primarily a call to action, of mostly
rhetorical (in the formal sense, look it up) effect.  There’s nothing
whatsoever wrong with that.  Few useful human actions are accomplished
without some rhetoric to get things moving.  That includes engineering
actions.

Also, a very useful expression of a sentiment that might be expressed as
“more encryption is good, let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the
good”, and another that said “there’s going to be a lot of controversy
around end-to-end issues”.

I’m disappointed by this nitpicking over what I found a rather inspiring
moment.

i took it as the consensus of the *room*, and it would be taken to the
lists to be nibbled to death by ducks.
