Again. I agree with what you said. What I was commenting on is the 
following text from the draft

"Bob would know that an attack was happening.  The fact that
  one side can detect this attack means that in most cases where Alice
  and Bob both wish the communications to be encrypted there is not a
  problem."

My question was, how would Bob detect this attack?

Thanks
Suresh
