You are right presharing is a requirement, unless you hash the keys used to encrypt the secret into the secret itself, but that can only be prooven later on a channel where the same MITM is not present.
Work in progress, that said presharing solve(d/s) enough for the world to dump DNS and HTTPS in a bin and light it on fire now, because nobody has the power to implement all the MITM needed if everyone "makes their own crypto" on top of allready shared secrets!
