Whonix has a similar warning:

Applies to Whonix as well.

That's the thing. Realistically only a small fraction of users reads,
remembers and really applies what is recommended in documentation.
Murphy's law also agrees. So the best way is to work towards solutions
that assume, that the user didn't apply that advice.
Having that said and after thinking about Tobias Frei's reasoning, I am
now more convinced that shared values should be preferred over random
values.
