Did you all see this Wired article about Quantum Insert detection?

proof me wrong but wouldn't the use of a HTTPS/OnionAddress render this attack usesless?
Whats up with the title "researchers uncover method"? Like this would be anything new? Basically it's the concept of a MITM attack which is a serious threat[1] as old as telecommunication itself. The only working solution is end to end encrypted communication. So why use inefficient and vulnerable "detection tools" to spy on tor users?
humble opinion of a barely frightened tor user.
[1]: Remark: There are sufficient opportunities for MITM attacks. (There are still guys out there surfing the web via GSM -broken crypto- on their mobiles.)
