i don' disagree with the thesis and i think the best we will get is not answer that tan effectively rebuke the position.

stupid AI said that server would know who start the connection but not back and forth. connection is static and is reset, so presumably longer convos would involve several timestamps.

I am not sure if signal would know who the recipient but that's the logical next conclusion.
