Eh, I agree it is not mathematically possible to break one time pad (but it is important to remember NSA broke VENONA, mathematical cryptosystems are not same as their implementations in reality), but most of our cryptographic proofs are conditional and rely on assumptions. For example, I don’t see what is mathematically impossible about breaking AES.
