It sounds like that wasn't the effect. FTR, when you made the leap  
from this to confirmation bias, I was kind of confused, and that's  
why I've been silent to date. I'm pretty sure this concern is mostly  
at the level of "it might become increasingly difficult for people to  
make use of the existing PKI architecture in this time of IP  
scarcity, so solutions relying on SSL aren't usable as ubiquitous  
security solutions".
