I don't know much about encryption and I have a question, but first I'll present some foundation for the question.
IDiots claim that they can 'determine' (or 'detect', take your pick) intelligent design (which to them includes intention-purpose) in things without knowing anything about the history of the things. The history of things would include anything and everything in, of, and about the things. In other words, anything and everything in, of, and about the things would be completely unknown and new to the IDiots.
IDiots claim that they have accurate, reliable tools-methods (with a rigid mathematical basis) with which to determine design, such as being able to calculate 'CSI' (or dFSCI, FSCO/I) in things. They say that CSI is complex specified information, and they define information as something with 'meaning', and they often use examples of English writings, numbers, etc., to try to support their claims. They also say that their 'irreducible complexity' claims are a critical part of or are the same as their CSI claims.
It seems to me that if what they claim has any credibility whatsoever they should be able to easily and accurately calculate the CSI (which includes the 'meaning' if any) in the following string, and easily and accurately calculate whether the following string is irreducibly complex or not.

I know whether the above string has meaning or not and whether it is irreducibly complex or not. I know whether it's the result of blindly dragging my hand across my keyboard or not. The string may or may not be an encrypted example of something that has meaning. I also know whether a decryption program and/or password may or may not be required to decrypt the string and understand the meaning it may or may not have.
Some history regarding the string is already known (e.g. the individual letters, numbers, and symbols are all easily recognizable to English speakers who have just a very basic knowledge of numbers and symbols).
Here's my question: Shouldn't the IDiots, using only their tools-methods, be able to easily and accurately calculate (with a rigid mathematical basis of course) whether the string is complex, irreducibly complex, specified, intentional-purposeful, has information (meaning), and what the meaning is if there is any?
ETA: an adjustment that hopefully with prevent my comment above from being stretched out to the right.
ETA: The adjustment didn't work. I don't know why it's stretched out so far to the right.
ETA: Arrghh!
ETA: One more try at de-stretching.
