I think it's a mute point. "unsuitable for anything
but authentication" is fair, but it is suitable for p9sk1.
If you really wanta try a man-in-the-middle attack you'll
need more resources than the user is willing to wait for.
If you are just snooping you won't learn anything to
compromise the authenticated session or shared key.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
