I'm not going to defend what Thor said, nor do I even think it's worth 
discussing as it largely amounts to an "appeal to privileged knowledge."  
However, this is some extremely sloppy thinking in your writing.  To wit:

That's a false dichotomy.  There are many subjects on which the vast majority 
of people agree (such, as, I'll wager, the roundness of the Earth).

It is being given a chance.  "Giving it a chance" does not mean "stepping back 
and ignoring it until someone publishes an exploit."  At least one weakness 
has been identified -- namely, using a weaker encryption mode for the key-key 
blocks can reduce the strength of the entire system.  Or to put it 
metaphorically, "an algorithm is only as strong as its weakest link."

That's purely false.  There are several other disk encryption systems around.
