All security is obscurity. I think it's laughable that you believe you know what someone does just because they say this. Consider there's many levels of knowledge about a topic and sometimes when you get to a deeper level your conclusion or the labels you use for stuff "flip".

Understanding the differences that you outlined is so basic that a good commenter wouldn't assume they don't know the difference, they are making a deeper point.

[kortilla]

No, anyone who knows more than a surface level understands the difference between these and doesn’t muddle them.

What you’re doing is the equivalent of saying there is no difference between a parachute and an airplane.

[vasco]

You should deepen your reading comprehension.

[saithound]

When a commenter doesn't know how to even spell the word "steganography", it's quite safe to assume that they don't possess deeper level knowledge and are not making any deeper point about it.

[panarky]

I assumed the numerous too-obvious errors were some form of code for information hiding.

et tú, too?

trivial grammar/spelling mistakes are worse than running analogies into the ground without hitting the "context" button, or even the reductio ad absurdium train HN has been on lately.

yes my latin half-Freudian trans-alliterations can be tempting to pick out, i had another tab with stylometry obfuscation described, incident, and mitigated.

also giigles spellcheck sucks ass, and im tired of being gaslit of my word choice/spelling by giigles, who should know every word by now, in all languages

  >don't possess deeper level knowledge

umm besides error-correcting codes reducing the bitrate, compression, and random byte padding to fend off correlation/timing attacks, there is no where to hide data, outside of the shannon limit for information thru a medium.

but its easy to hide data you cannot perceive; and everyone being conscious of this feat/fingerprinting, even if barely, does more towards efficacy to deter leaking via second-order "chilling effect" than the aftermath; I.P theft is hard to un-approximate

also stenography, ironically still being the only "real" signature, is still security thru obscurity with more steps; your literal stenographic signature is unique, but not preventable from duplicity, so it is un-obscurable.

also i know rsa != ECC plz dont

A person that experiences correction and criticism as gaslighting has serious mental health issues. Talk to a therapist. Get help.

if googles' "Add to Dictionary" button worked more than their new 100+ languages i wouldn't felt gaslit by the same words having needed re-googled weekly
