    If you think I don't know how those attacks work, you are wrong. You need to extract the password hash to utilize those attacks, and if they are also salted (I can't imagine SE not doing so), it just got much, much harder.

    Knowing is one thing; trusting is another. I don't doubt you know how these things work, but at the same time, you don't know how your password is protected, where it's located, and whether or not it's not accessible by some backdoor rootkit. Your call, but if I were you, I wouldn't trust anyone and always assume the worst case scenario. Any security expert worth his salt wouldn't leave it to chance.
