I don't even understand the question. We were talking about the value of moving SSH to a different port to cut down on logged probes. That at least has the value of giving you a weak signal about IP sources that are somewhat determined to break in. Port knocking doesn't even do that.

Maybe it is not supposed to. Port knocking is not a substitute for anything. Yet most criticisms of it, like yours, seem to assume it is going to be used as a replacement for something else.
