While I agree with this, there is another, more practical reason to use
cryptography for everyday, non-sensitive material. This may seem trivial
to some.
The more we are in the practice and *habit* of using cryptography for both
privacy and authentication, the more *prepared* we are when we unexpectedly
find ourselves in situations that *require* cryptography.
YMMV.
