Well I don't agree with this submission.

Here is an interesting read about the EV certificates:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Validation_Certificate

Read the section about:
Vulnerability to Phishing
There has been some concern that EV certificates, despite their improved authentication and higher cost, will not prevent phishing attacks[11].

In 2006, researchers at Stanford University and Microsoft conducted a usability study[12] of the EV display in Internet Explorer 7. The study measured users' ability to distinguish real sites from fraudulent sites when presented with various kinds of phishing attacks, and found that there was no significant difference between users who saw extended validation indicators and those who did not. Users who received training with the Internet Explorer 7 help file were more likely to judge all sites legitimate, regardless of whether they were fraudulent.
