All that said, the bottom line is that if the source is random, the armor is too.
He was speaking especially of encypted output which is theoretically near random, so it is fairly secure. If the password must be long, reproducable, and reasonably secure, using ascii-amoured output of encryption of a file is fairly secure, assuming the attacker is not aware of the nature of the password.If the attacker is aware security goes down some, but not terribly much.
