	that 'proof' is useless academic bullshit.

	on the other hand, I'd bet whoever invented the OTP (and it obv can be earlier than miller) knew that one 'key' could be used to 'decrypt' any text - which is what the 'proof' of 'perfect secrecy' amounts to. 


	The key fact here is that the OTP was well known and it's 'odd' to suppose it was not used since the time it was invented.
