Yup. The thrust of the paper is: in the real world FIDO2 is usually
deployed alongside older/weaker forms of 2FA, so an attacker can
pretend to the victim that FIDO auth didn't work and convince them to
try a weaker method instead, then phish that.

Which is a reasonable point, but not necessarily relevant to us. We
*could* require only strong auth and not have weaker fallback methods.
