It is - sbierwagen doesn't address any point raised in the article and I'll quite happily challenge him to do so - but it goes with the territory.
Cynicism is healthy. The TLS industry has historically been quite shady. Symantec was selling 'Step up' encryption certs for Internet Explorer 5.5 pre 5.5 SP1 in 2015 as a value add. Comodo tried to trademark 'Let's Encypt' for some reason that still isn't clear.
I'm quite happy for people to ignore the article I wrote, read Section 7.2 of Google's research, and verify for themselves the claim made in the title.
Then consider whether most people understand that 'Secure' means 'Secure from eavesdropping' as the quoted Google engineer suggests.
