I think you are referring to my comparison of age vs gpg[1]. That in no way indicates that I have anything against authenticated encryption. I just point out that age has no data recovery utility.
BTW, when used in a normal way, an offline capable, stateless system as embodied in the OpenPGP message standard uses signatures to provide integrity protection[2]. Which might bring us a bit closer to the matter at hand I suppose.
