Hmmm... now I think you are being too clever!  :|  I am  
guessing that the parts regarding secret chat were written when  
Telegram first came out for portable phones.

What I find somewhat more mysterious in the FAQ is this:

"After the secure end-to-end connection has been established,  
we generate a picture that visualizes the encryption key for  
your chat. You can then compare this image with the one your  
friend has - if the two images are the same, you can be sure  
that the secret chat is secure, and no man-in-the-middle attack  
can succeed."

I am not sure how to view that image, do you?
