Right. The author missed this as one of the major attack vectors that this aims to protect against. I don't think leaving out a real justification for it when saying it's snake oil speaks in favour of the author's point.

First, here's a clip from the HN guidelines:

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that"

The article mentions it by dismissing it. No, really, this is the major attack vector this aims to protect against.

That and the ability to two-key the system. No encryption, no two-key.
