Copyright != license.

But that's what Phorrest was saying. Your post is automatically copyrighted, nobody can distribute it unless you give them a license to do so. So either the second line is giving them a license (making the first line false), or the first line is true (making the second line false).

It may be impossible to make a theoretically unbreakable device, but that doesn't mean it's practically breakable.
You say yourself that it might take 10,000 years to get the correct key, so if the useful life of the device is say 10 (or even 100) years, it is still practically unbreakable.
And if you can make a device that takes 10,000 years to bruteforce, you can make one that takes 10,000 universe lifetimes...
