If you approach de-identification as a binary set, where it is a failure if even one person out of a million might theoretically be re-identified, the argument might make sense. In a real world risk management scenario, it fails to be a reasonable or sustainable argument.

The debate is fairly heated. Full disclosure, I have worked for Ann Cavoukian and with Khaled El Emam.
