If you’d like to take a look at how one of the older Victorian mechanical signal boxes on this map (still) work, I can wholeheartedly recommend Tom Scott’s recent video on signalling in Britain [1].
Yes, but the test was at 22°C, which I wouldn’t consider warm. And it’s too cold for the differences to be even perceptible well, making the test flawed. Disregarding the fact that it’s also much colder than people use to drink coffee, making it even harder to distinguish for non-experts.

This is a weird test, coffee get’s so much worse when cold. So people can’t distinguish between two bad coffees.
I think it’s more about layers of defense being always better than relying on a single point of failure.
IIRC those bugs could only steal data, not do remote execution. If you did not store even the encrypted passwords in memory, getting the password/key to them compromised would still keep you safe, or at least upgrade it to a timing attack.
This at the same time super cool and really disappointing, as I've been carrying around this idea in my head for maybe ten years as a cool side project and never got around to implementing it.
However, there might still be room for competition, heh. I always wanted to do this on the _entirety_ of Unicode to try getting the most possible resolution out of the image.
