Yeah, maybe, usually... but certainly not always. You can certainly strengthen against stalkers in different ways than you can against state actors, I think? I guess I've not thought this through much, but I don't think of this as a false dichotomy. These things over lap in a bunch of ways, but then also we can defend against each in very different ways. Things that keep out stalkers won't stop a state actor, though most likely anything stopping a state actor would keep out a stalker. Most of us don't need/want to defend against the NSA, but we need to defend against adversaries with skills equal to a stalker. It may even be that we can't really defend against a state actor if we end up in their sites, they have essentially unlimited money time and people to throw at us. It could be that just one extra password stops a regular person though?
I took his point as being one of priorities. This reminds me of that Google Chrome master password thing from several years ago.
