This reminds me of the Radia Perlman quote

	Humans are incapable of securely storing high-quality
	cryptographic keys, and they have unacceptable speed and
	accuracy when performing cryptographic operations. (They are
	also large, expensive to maintain, difficult to manage, and
	they pollute the environment. It is astonishing that these
	devices continue to be manufactured and deployed. But they
	are sufficiently pervasive that we must design our protocols
	around their limitations.)
