Here’s Moxie Marlinspike’s answer about the “flaw”. Some notes: Moxie is the creator of Signal, probably the best secure messaging app out there, and WhatsApp uses their system. I personally think he’s also one of the best cryptographers out there as well, with some very insightful thoughts about the balance between cryptography and usability (hint: the best crypto is a one-time-pad hand-distributed among your users. That’s a pain in the ass to use, which is why no-one does).
