IOTA is disputing this in part because
- they lack a functional understanding of cryptography to the extent that they are taking the informal answers of security.stackexchange.com as rigorous definitions;
- they lack any natural intuition about how to think about security, to the extent that they are rolling their own crypto and testing it on production systems without peer review; and
- they lack the social skills to accurately interpret the more qualitative aspects of these textbook definitions, such as what the word βnegligibleβ means.
