The three main strategies for securing email are TLS (which is opportunistic, and not end-to-end); PGP (impractical for institutional deployment; ask me how I know!) and S/MIME (which I'm guessing doesn't federate well).

The funny thing is: I suspect the policies are all based on the (no longer correct) notion that fax goes over the public telephone system, and not the Internet.

Utterly bizarre — a legacy technology, long outdated, but remaining in use because of policies (mostly around security) and lack of a viable alternative (email with end-to-end encryption).

One difference between this and shooting a CEO on a NYC sidewalk is that the former is murder on a mass scale.
A second difference is that we chose as a society to prosecute one while excusing the other as an acceptable human sacrifice to capitalism, which is horrific. WTF is wrong with us?

Anecdotes are not data, and this doesn't change the lack of validity, or void the many other criticisms.
That said, given the 'p' value was so tiny we had to use scientific notation, the test was obviously measuring *something*!

I was once with a group of software security researchers who got dragged to a team-building exercise which involved MB types. They spent the whole time scoffing at the lack of validity etc.
Every. Single. One. was assigned INTP, which is supposed to be a rare type. (The manager was ENTP.) 😂

Sounds like a great way to destroy your child's liver!
You can't cure Autism anymore than you can cure gay. You shouldn't try, for mostly the same reasons.

The only source I could dig up was a single, "well-placed", anonymous source, as reported by (*gags*) the Daily Mail.
