Either that, or they're 'yakking it up' in hopes of discouraging a
regular user here from taking an amazing risk with his banking access
passwords.

You've missed the point, which is that users have no way of verifying
that the LastPass technology actually behaves the way their web site
claims.

For example, how would you verify that their software, installed on
your own machine, doesn't make a hash of the key to your data and send
it to them?  Of course their web site says they don't do that, and if
that's good enough for you, good luck.
