This is an informative video from Numberphile about the Enigma machine.
It is indeed correct that an encrypted letter can't be itself. However to use this to crack the code of one message (with no standard format) is very hard. Only if you know that certain words would appear in the message, it would be a lot easier to decode it.
But the mean reason why I want to build this is because of the aesthetics.
