encrypting your communications?!

From the front page:

"Tor protects you by encrypting your communications and bouncing them around a 
distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world."

I think this sentence is misleading. It is hard to interpret 'encrypting your 
communications' as meaning anything other than exactly that: Tor somehow 
encrypts all your communications, full stop.

It should be changed to something like:

"Tor protects you by hiding the origin of your communications. It does this by 
bouncing them around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all 
around the world."
