Well, actually, no, I didn't say that.  What I said was that an active
attack of whatever form - be it MitM, website spoofing, compromising a
known webserver, or whatever - requires more effort and sophistication
than simply posting a key falsely purported to be mine to the keyserver
network.  Any idiot can post a false key with my userid attached to it;
no particular skill or technical knowledge is required.
