Yeah, that's what I'm saying— all these exploits are absurd. The security guys are experts, of course, but I just think implying this is "lockpicking" is giving the locks a little too much credit.

Well, it's not 'lockpicking' in the traditional sense, but they still demonstrated that you can open it just by stabbing a bit of wire into the light. It's absurd in the sense that it actually works.
