If you blame the incorrect phone number in the Apple address book then sure, but that implies that you think that a smart phone address book should be responsible for identity management in an end to end encrypted messenger. Oh, and the telephone number to identity mapping is the responsibility of:
* Signal
* Twillo
* The phone company
That's all OK as far as it goes, but the root problem here is that a typical Signal user is made aware of none of this. Sure it's legit to take convenience over security, but it is not OK to leave this tradeoff completely unknown to the people affected.
