Saying that a particular approach is pointless because it is widely known to be trivially bypassed is one thing. Pushing the broad dimissals based on hypotheticals and impractical levels of effort that zetmolom and jbcohen posted is quite another.

I thought we were talking about the advice of security experts as pertaining to DRM. About whether these experts knew anything about digital locks. You seemed to have the idea that if DRM was seen to be broken, then no password system should be seen to be useful. I was explaining that in the case of DRM, the password is in the hands of the those who are to be locked out (the purchasers of the DRMed wares), and so is doomed to fail. Other cases where the password is not readily stored within the system (like most logins) are not subject to the same weakness.
