They've already told you why they feel that way. The term "Pseudo-OTP" is
confusing, misleading, inextricably tied to snake oil, and is a neologism
where a perfectly acceptable term, Stream Cipher, already exists.
Maybe you don't agree with that. But they have certainly made their case
clear. And, for whatever it's worth, I agree with them. If I was to
start designing stream ciphers, which is something I'm not qualified to
do, I would call them stream ciphers.

naked with the President" ... and that dream can actually come true.
