If you are working on warning.mdwn I think that this part might need to
be fixed in English in the first place. As one of you said, I think that
the correct meaning is that "correlation attacks" are used to "confirm
an hypothesis". And at least Wikipedia doesn't know about "confirmation
attacks" as such.

Would the following patch help you (sorry for the bad wrapping)?
