That's not what he wrote. My understanding of his argument is that with 
increasing need of reliability of encryption the need for hiding the 
communication partners increases.

I would add that above a certain level of encryption security or connection 
hiding it probably becomes important to hide that you use this technology at 
all (at least if you don't do it just for fun). Unpleasant people might have 
wrong thoughts otherwise.
