Fair point. :) To take your pedant to its extreme, though, using Tor Hidden Services entirely inside the Tor network is more secure than using a Tor exit node

Fair point. :) To take your pedant to its extreme, though, using Tor Hidden Services entirely inside the Tor network is more secure than using a Tor exit node to access web sites outside of Tor. If you hear about sites like the Silk Road, those exist only inside the Tor network, you can't (directly) reach them the 'actual internet' / the Web.
