Despite the fact that this same "serious flaw" exists with classical cryptography devices, only worse (since the quantum attack doesn't reveal plaintext A until B is sent). How would you do this with classical cryptography? Isn't the point about this particular flaw that it is pretty much undetectable (other than inspecting the hardware itself (which is outside the scope of the article that treats it as a black box)). If the same were to be implemented on classical cryptography it would be comparatively trivial to detect if someone tried to sneak in an old message interleaved with a new…
