Obfuscation tools can make a .net assembly harder to *decompile* but cannot
*disassemble*
I know you will know that but I just wanted to point that fact out :)

Sure. However, the point of what I wrote in the FAQ is that for the
most part, the spectre of thousands of hackers breaking your code is
just that - a spectre. Most code is easier to write from scratch than
trying to understand decompiled or disassembled obfuscated code.
