PITA but there it is.
Isn't that kinda like saying you have a door with 3 locks, but there are people who can't be bothered to use 3 keys, so you leave one open anyway so that those people can come into your secure environment with less than the required number of keys? OK, the security of the communications still holds, but the equipment (the keys here being physical objects, rather than cryptographic keys) is actually at fault.
