As far as I can see, the comment you replied to contains no mention of these things. Can you quote the relevant part?

cmrx64: it all depends on how much you trust 1password and what your threat model is. For me, the advantage of keepass is that I don't need to upload my credentials anywhere

oneeyedpigeon: But if you want to sync your credentials across devices, you still have to upload them somewhere, right?

dorfsmay: You are uploading a file that is encrypted using very strong encryption, not plain text password

I took that to mean:

(with keepass) you are uploading a file that is encrypted ... not plain text password (as for 1password)

dorfsmay has now confirmed that was their meaning in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11177045

Thanks. This was very cryptic, I'm surprised you pieced it together.
