The world is rife with wrenches and people willing to use them. PD is only good against people who don't have legal leverage against you, and those not willing to break the law to get it.

People who say this never game this out.

1. Attacker sees random data.

2. Attacker knows you might be smart enough to use a plausible deniability file system.

3. Attacker starts beating you with the wrench.

At this point, there are several possibilities that could happen:

1. You give up the secret and give the attacker what he wants. The beating continues after this point, because the attacker really has no idea if you've given up the right secret.

2. You give up a fake secret and give the attacker what he thinks he wants. The beatings continue. See possibility #1.

3. You don't give up the secret and he continues beating you with the wrench anyway to try to get you to reveal the secret.

4. You're not using a plausible deniability encryption at all, and it truly is random data, and he continues to beat you with the wrench to make sure.

As you can see, the wrench doesn't give two shits about your plausible deniability.
