--- Comment #3 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> ---
I'm having trouble seeing that as plausible or any different from partially
zeroed :-).  You could claim (with equal plausibility, IMO) that the
alternating random / zeroes doesn't store any data; it's just silly and isn=
't
going to be believed in the same way it won't if you make that claim with a=
ll
random bytes.

You're familiar with https://xkcd.com/538/ ?
