Absolutely correct. In fact, I posted several years ago how, in principle,
how a rogue OS could leak the key of an OTFE program into the very HD
storage it is protecting - and do it while not corrupting that OTFE program
in any way but using it completely according to Hoyle.

I'll be happy to post the method again if anyone cares.
