Knowing that a product has met an EAL4 evaluation -- or even an EAL7 evaluation -- tells you absolutely nothing useful. It means that you can have some amount of confidence that the product meets an unknown set of requirements. To give a contrived example, you might need a piece of software that always paints the screen black. I might build a piece of software that paints the screen red with very high reliability, and get it evaluated at EAL4. Obviously my software isn't going to solve your problem.

This "article" has all the force of saying, "Nuh uh". It doesn't disprove the worth of EAL4.
