This is something I do not understand.

Primary sources - those PDFs you speak of - are available.  Googlable.
 Readable.  Discussable and understandable.

Saying that "very few people bother to read (let alone understand)"
them is hardly an argument against Tor, its funding, the uses it is
put to, or the price of stem cell transplants in Chiba in five hundred
years' time.  The information is there.  If one elects to ignore it
says nothing about Tor.
