"In addition, there are comparatively few cases in programming where we XOR. Sure, it happens in things like games quite a lot, but the main use is actually _cryptography_"
I'd be curious if that's actually true. I know XOR is used for non-cryptographic checksums, parity bits, maintaining key traversal order for associative arrays, overflow detection, etc. Lots of general purpose "stuff" that isn't cryptography.
