But you do have to admit that they know very many big important sounding words, go off on extremely dope tangents ("second order chilling effects!" Fuck yeah!) AND say "giigle" instead of Google, which is a.) super cool (obviously) but I suspect there's b.) a darker reason: they are probably a rouge cryptoanarchist being hunted down by The Algorithm and are only able to survive on the streets because of there every-day-carry RF blocking wallet and screwdriver combo and their ability to outsmart Google, because it hasn't learned all the words yet.

Good luck bro, continuing to obscure the entropic state of the x-M medium and remain plausibly deniable. Shannon in the (his?) house, mothafucka! Stenography FTW!

in the context of preventing leaks: if/when this nears ubiquity, the first ID'ing of leaks will obviously lead to the second effect of deterring further leaks.

  >their ability to outsmart Google
it knows all the words: that is why i should not had had to had reminded it incessantly.

lemme draw this out cuz you seem intimidated with simple abstractions.

imagine a three page power-point composed of Header, Text, companyLogo, no other data, aside from inclination from the plane.

under the plausibility presumption the header and text and company logo cannot be within ~15 interval degrees from the plane, you only have a state-space of so many combinations, which puts a hard limit (Shannon's) on the medium's maximum signal/noise ratio.

assuming people cannot collude to delineate between copies, they arent going to be able to perceive subtle shifts in the inclination/position/font/inclusion/exclusion of elements.

however more generally, this key-space needed for the LEAKER_ID wont be much larger (in magnitude) than the user pool of potential leakers, with a simple CRC for resiliency.
