You are being very confrontative for no apparent reason. Arguing that mail clients should not hide decryption errors from users is not "in fact" arguing that gpg should keep leaving plaintext fragments around on errors. Far from it.

But it does not matter how perfect encryption tool you can design if your mail client displays a signature as valid when it is in fact not valid.

If you have constructive opinions on how gpg implements AEAD constructs then why not take them to the mailing list? There are plenty of know-it-all personalities in the open source community, but Werner is not one of them.
