It's not that they can't. It's that they don't, and we have huge

Marlinspike talk? His success rates on SSL Stripping a tor node were

It's not about intelligence, it's about what you and I care about. For
example, I don't care about how cars work. I want to put my key in the
ignition and go.
There's only so much anyone really cares about. Outside of our little
club here, people want the computer to just work.
