This is in fact the problem with trying to write eulogies for PGP. PGP is still a useful tool, just not for the application it was originally intended to: it's a very idea to try to retain secrecy among even small groups of people using PGP-encrypted email.

Very idea?

Context suggests a typo for "very bad idea".

Although I kind of like the image of tptacek thinking about using PGP for email and scoffing "Hmpf! The very idea!"
