I don't understand your actual answer. You gave a list of cryptosystems that all suffered devastating attacks due to not properly authenticating ciphertexts; in the TLS case, several years worth of devastating attacks. PGP is an especially funny example. The only surprise is you didn't manage to work SSHv1 into the list.
