Without the cryptological achievements, it won't go on either way. Without new discoveries, the PC professionals can keep tweaking the parameters of their programmes as long as they want. The chicken will still not lay any golden eggs. Without new clues, they are stuck.

I am convinced that your search for examples of encryption will help. But you also have to evaluate what you find. That means which systems were used.
VM is pretty securely encrypted. He certainly used a combination system. But that cannot be all. There must be more.

Just keep it up. Realisation will follow.
