Stuff I submit here really isn't that "deep", since I don't spend too much time on them and I'm pretty sure there are people who can easily see through the smoke and mirrors.
Then again, meaning is what you make of it. If you don't have a terrible English teacher, you can pretty much write whatever analysis you see fit so long as you can properly support your arguments and have a passing paper. Exceptional new and well-supported papers are the ones that get A's and honestly, I've always been, at best, a B student in English, not even B+.
The encryption stuff, on the other hand, really doesn't require and math or transformations or anything. Figured that wasn't worth it when planning "Secrets of the Mods". It must be solvable without wasting hours in ciphers and transformations or it just isn't worth it, but that also means you can't throw programs at it and expect to crack it.
