Yes, in just a trillion iterations you can test all possible keys.
But if for testing *each* key you will have to figure out whether a text
/signal you produced represents sensible speech... - it may be prohibitively
expensive.

Well, what if you're "close?" Will it sound "kinda sensible?" Perhapse it
would sound like long distance.... ;^)
