Why cell of Unlock lock screen is Yes in README.md?

In Caveats paragraph, you say

OS X > 10.7.2 and Windows > 8.1 disables FireWire DMA when the user has locked the OS and thus prevents inception.

If you read the next sentence in the caveats section it does say that the tool will still work when the user is logged on. This is relevant as the tool can attack over projector daisy chained over thunderbolt:

OS X > 10.7.2 and Windows > 8.1 disables FireWire DMA when the user has locked the OS and thus prevents inception. The tool will still work while a user is logged on. However, this is a less probable attack scenario IRL.
