I will word this carefully since I previously worked on crypto de-anonymization attacks, but nothing in this "analysis" seems to be grounded in more than the blockchain developers echo chamber of self congratulation.

Amusingly, assume the CIA has figured out a clever trick for opening up Acme Secure Envelopes in transit. If they publish a report detailing at length how amazing and tamper proof Acme products are, the world would take note and sales would plummet overnight. If, however, you publish the same report on a blog about how to mail documents securely...

Your point is correct, you sound like salty CIA spreading FUD because it is job of NSA to provide them with solution which did not came. :) So you are saying that ZKSnarks are CIA approved ? XD
