I never said moving away from SHA-1 was irrelevant. I was simply stating that they were overestimating how common the FLAME attack could be pulled off.

Flame like Stuxnet are state of the art. Highly funded state of the art. A lot of security researchers look at these things and simply say, "Are you shitting me?!"

Call me optimistic but I highly doubt we'll be uncovering a new stuxnet every single year.
