I understand the importance of security. I do hope Telegram can get it right. I acknowledge it is probably not as secure as they claim right now. I still maintain the article author's attitude just rubs me up the wrong way because of the mood I'm in - the smugness (and I hope I'm not imagining it) is definitely a side issue but one I felt I had to get off my chest. I don't want to make a big issue of it and detract too much from the critique but I felt I had to say it even though HN may not be the bestest place in the world to voice such things. I hear you though.
