Eve operates in meat-space not a mathematical Flatland. Operationally, it does not matter how the message was read. The encryption system is compromised and users do not have practical alternatives.

The reality is that no matter how good the software engineers are; no matter how sound the algorithms; no matter how well funded the startup or open source project; it's completely outnumbered and completely out gunned. Nation states operate at a different scale and easily deployable encryption systems for novice users are white horse led brightly dressed musketeers drum marching to their general's firing line in the midst of a modern free fire zone.

To me, any secure communications systems that provides the convenience of app store downloads and over the air updates should be considered compromised. On the other hand, if someone thinks that a three letter agency might be interested in their communications and that person does not work for another three letter agency, they should probably assume that their signals are compromised if they are detected.
