How much much nose hair should I consider to be purely ethical?

I agree with you most heartily. Cryptography is a tricky business. There is a risk of catastrophic failure if you do not have someone who actually understands the stuff. It is worth remembering that unlike many aspects of applications people go through concerted effort to make one’s encryption less than effective.
The hacking of DVDs via software or magic marker is a classic example.

Each developer is in charge of his own encryption algorithm.
As for decryption? That falls to the director of IT. He's got plenty of time on his hands.

This remindes me my high-school teachers favorite quiz choices
Q. What is bla bla
a. bla bla
b. bla bla
c. bla bla
d. None of the Above
e. All of the above
We used to argue if 'e' can be logically correct? Yes it means all the answers (a,b,c) but at the face value 'd' also is part of ALL of the above.
Here also we got number of choices then "We never have need of encryption". How the heck is that going to be valid with the rest when multiple choice are possible

Q. What is bla bla?
a. bla bla
b. bla bla
c. bla bla
d. All of the above
e. None of the above

Absolutely. But, that was my point. He won't budge to change the order, which makes it, shall we say, illogical and confusing.
