I did not like the analogies. They do not seem to make an effort to point at something meaningful, they are superficial.
For example, password salts are added before hashing the passwords. If you switch to adding them after, this makes salting near useless.
You could make the analogy with concatenating the salt to the head or tail of the string, which would be fine.
Randomly adding / subtracting extra pieces to either rockets or cryptosystems is playing with the worst kind of fire, and will eventually get you hacked or exploded, respectively.
“Randomly” doing stuff to a neural network is bad too, you are not doing “random” modifications. I’m not an engineer yet I bet there are tons of modular parts in a rocket.
