Well, from a pedantic perspective this is certainly true.

However, this is the IETF.  "E" is for "Engineering".  Engineering is
about producing useful solutions to problems.  It is clear to me that
NEA is addressing a valid problem.  I think that attempting to "rig" the
requirements so as to admit no feasible solution is effectively an
attempt to subvert the WG chartering decision, and to be obstructive.

Let's accept that there *is* a valid problem, and work to devise a
reasonable set of requirements to solve the problem and provide
generally acceptable security and privacy protection.
