Isn't that question just a form of a required pre-shared key?

I'm curious why the "just" qualifier? Is there anything that makes a pre-shared key a bad idea? (Particularly if someone follows the habit of one per private email, exchanged out of band.)

Depending on the level of surveillance you think you are in, the question can be a simple captcha to avoid bots, a secret question that your correspondent can answer but not the NSA, or a request for a password previously exchanged with your correspondent, or no question at all.

Granted, 100% secure is a bold claim, but it's not just an HTTPS link anyone can click on, at least not if you're a tiny bit clever enough to enable additional protection it offers.
