I've always taken comfort from that.  There's always a know-it-all  
who says, unanswerably, ``of course, GCHQ can brute force 3DES|AES256| 
OTP in a day''.  My logic has been that even if we accept for a  
moment that they can --- which I don't --- they're hardly going to  
reveal their hand for anything I'm likely to be involved in.   So  
even if it turned out that AES256 had a flaw that rendered it  
tractable, the purposes to which that's going to be put don't include  
decrypting my ssh sessions.
