The problem with security through obscurity is the false sense of security that it provides. This in itself can lead to vulnerabilities.

Regarding data obfuscation, for example:

- Can an average person differentiate between encrypted data and well-obfuscated data just by looking at it?

- Would it be reasonable for the average person to assume that obfuscated data is equally as "secure" as encrypted data?

- Might someone store and transmit "secure" data differently than normal data?
