Correct.

Actually you did, sort of. In the same context that you referenced
the story URL, you said, and I quote: "It suggests that WPA with AES
and WPA2 aren't quite so easy to hack."
The article you referenced, which speaks to the WPA and WEP hacks,
says: "They do not work on newer WPA 2 devices or on WPA systems that
use the stronger Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm."
I see a distinct difference between:
"WPA with AES and WPA2 aren't quite so easy to hack"
and
"They [the hacks] do not work on WPA systems that use [AES]"
The latter being definitive, and the prior being suggestive.
