I am also NAL, but out of curiosity does OPs post detailing the obfuscation transgress any laws?

If the security measures exist in plain sight, as they apparently do, are they allowed to be discussed?

I reckon that if OP posts the encoder/decoder software that'd be against some sort of license clause. However in the age of AI who cares about the software at this point? Anyone can prompt their own private version into existence.

Just thinking out loud here. I have not considered AIs use as personal "cheat engines".

To do your question justice would take a while but its quite an interesting story to google. The gist: We did not have confirmation of where NA/EU freshwater eels laid their eggs until 2022. No one has ever seen them reproduce. This mystery is also old: Aristotle wrote about it. They have been an enigma for a long period of human history despite being an important part of it!

Also, before he got famous for inventing diagnosing everyone with penis envy, Freud spent a summer trying and failing to find the eels' reproductive organs.
