	Well, if you want to completely misunderstand the statement,
	you are free to do so. And I'm not saying it, I'm quoting
	somebody else. I suggest you bother to find out who the
	authors of the 'paper' are.

	But, anyway, let me point out that while casual users may be
	'darn secure', the 'hidden' servers inside the .onion space
	 are obviously not.
