That is the idea. Why lock the doors on your house or car? If someone wants in they will get in. The idea is to keep at least the causual observer from snooping. Also, like he said is it worth your time and money to try and reverse engineer the code?

He never said it couldn't be reversed, he just said it would make it difficult.
