Hmm . . . well, the former was proposed as more of an IF, it's the 
THEN that I'm sure about. SSL is described as a good thing so we know 
which site we're dealing with, but can be explained to users as 
simply "using this makes you more secure on the internet" (like when 
they're shopping online). When both language and understanding can be 
imprecise (it's their data, sort of part of them, residing at another 
site, which we're concerned about), there's always room for some 
margin of error. Kind of like quantum states where attempting to 
observe the waveform can affect it.
