The argument the paper makes does not rest on whether memory encryption is implemented solely in microcode. All the problems with SGX lie with its management part not with the encryption part. I'm referring to side-channel attacks and lack of secure counters. If you read the paper carefully, there are many other arguments one can make against it. However, it is an interesting paper and its message is worth considering. Peer-review is not a perfect process. I think the research community is better off with publishing such a paper.
