I would say the implication is that PGP is useless for general secure communications purposes. You can be secure with it when you have very specific needs and have knowledgeable contacts, but it doesn't solve the need for communications privacy that most people have.

It's not a problem to be blamed on PGP though. A solution to shield an Average Joe's private life from his internet provider's snooping will always have its own deficiencies, exactly because of its generality.
