   The way I see it, there are at least two ways to promote TOR.
   1.   Openly promote TOR:   "TOR is great".  "TOR is secure enough".
   "We don't need an improvement to TOR".
   and the second is:
   2.  Oppose potential improvements or augmented systems other than TOR.
    List their potential problems.  Ignore their possible benefits.
   I think there are clearly people who are choosing to do the second kind
   of promotion of TOR.
