I know what you mean, point taken. False assumptions are misleading even the 
best people some times. The difference between the knowledge of a developer and 
a user is often a big barrier. But never forget this: We need each other! ;-)

Well, you made many words, thank you for that patience! Now I think my false 
assumption (and underlying expectation) was, that this "backfiring" client 
certificate verification leads to at least some assessment about the 
connections integrity. But it does not, because it's just like showing a 
passport and has in fact nothing to do with the current underlying TLS link, 
correct so far?
