How far should we take that maxim? It implies that no one should ever attempt this, but that leads to nothing new (unless you are first recognised as a crypto guru -- but how could you become one?).
I think it's worth drawing a distinction between the algos/maths and attempts at implementations. Otherwise we wouldn't have things like OCaml-TLS and others.
