I disagree. It's actually remarkably easy to create for all intents and purposes (barring the resolution of several outstanding problems in cryptography and computer science) impossible-to-break cryptography schemes if you know anything about RSA, lattice methods, etc.

Unless "a lot of time" means the age of the universe (precluding functional quantum computers before then).

I see a lot of broken systems designed by people who've read Applied Cryptography.
