True, especially if a closed-sourced piece of software comes from a questionable/inexperienced source, however it does 
keep out everyone but the extremely determined.

If you were to have, for example, your laptop stolen, you would feel fairly confident that any information in it 
protected by your full disk encryption solution (if using a strong password and/or two-tiered authentication), but you 
would still change your account passwords and inform the effected people all the same just to be safe.
