A comment on TrueCrypt's Plausible Deniability is Theoretically Useless (2013).

This is stupid. The author clearly missed the word "PLAUSIBLE". Yes, in any country where they will torture you you're fucked. In any other country you can put your hand on your heart and swear there is one volume, and you gave the correct password. Now it's up to them to prove you wrong.

I hoped this would b a technical article explaining a flaw in TrueCrypt, but it is just flawed logic based on a misconception that "plausible" means "full-proof".

The author specifically mentions that this argument doesn't apply in countries with a presumption of innocence.
