Of course you are assuming that the OTP system is being correctly used.

From the history of the VENONA project, for example, some of the same OTP pages were used multiple times.

Bad things when that happens.

Exactly. A one time pad is not decipherable. Anyone can use a simple Bingo device to encrypt text in such a way that it’s indistinguishable from random text, regardless of the size of the computer trying to break it.... even if quantum computing were fully possible and utilized.
