The ballot is secret – as long as the vote counters are not colluding, nobody can observe the votes in transit, and nobody can access all votes. It seems better than most proposals I have seen but I certainly would claim that this system offers "all the benefits of paper voting". And I haven't even mentioned that voters can generate polynomials that gives them multiple votes without anyone noticing.

Like I said, it's a proof of concept that shows it is possible to have transparent auditability and secret ballots at the same time. It's not ready for implementation as it is, though, for the reasons you mentioned.
