That has not been said.  From my understanding the FLYING PIG thing is
about extracting information from all gathered TLS handshakes.  This
shall either be used as a tool to decrypt suspicious connections or to
research weaknesses in TLS.  The authors of the article should be able
to explain that more in terms we understand - shall I ask them?

I fully agree with you on that.
