It makes me uncomfortable that the CA system is set up in a way that makes this necessary. If an alternative, such as Convergence, had taken off we wouldn't be in this situation.

If it were done another way, wouldn't it make it hard for the Governments to use NSL-like methods to surreptitiously masquerade as others?

If an alternative, such as Convergence, was perfect, it would have taken off.

[corndoge]

This argument is valid only if you implicitly assert that the current system is perfect. Every system has it's trade-offs.

[vtlynch]

exactly. thats what makes the parent comment so preposterous.

[cgriswald]

If this is your argument it also requires the assumption that the trade-offs with Convergence are identical in both scale and type to the current system; at least in reference to this specific problem.
