I don't understand how that follows. If you're using SSH, what difference does it make whether you trust the line? I can see how [speed of line] and [whether to use compression] are related, and how [trustedness of line] and [whether to use encryption] are related. But I don't see how anyone could say that "If your data's going over a high-speed line, there's no reason to use compression" should be better written by replacing "high-speed line" with "trusted high-speed line".
