I know that, and you know that, but I showed this article to my wife (who is a casual computer user), and while she understood the difference when explained, she said that as a non-techie, she interpreted the title differently. If you hash my data, and take action based on that hash, then you have looked at the data, however cursory or algorithmic it may have been.

FWIW, I had this same discussion on reddit, where it devolved instantly into name-calling. HN is much more civil. Thanks for that.

"Sans serif is better for children learning to read"

Books produced for children are often printed with sans serif text as teachers claim that the simplicity of the letter shapes makes them more recognisable ( Coghill, 1980) , Walker, 2001 ). But studies with child participants have found no difference in their ability to read either style of typeface. ( Coghill, 1980) ; Zachrisson, 1965 , Walker, 2001 )

Problem solved.

I know all of my wife's passwords, and if my folks were alive, I'm sure I'd know all of them, as well.

Absolutely. There was much they did not know, as is true of anyone. "Ignorant" is not an insult, it simply means you do not know something. Would you say Aristotle and Newton knew everything about everything? If not, then they would be, by definition, ignorant of the things they did not know.
