It isn't. And if all else fails he can still write it down by hand. It's
considerd more like a hint, not as a 100% secure thing. And it might
prevent that decryptd files are on the computer by accident. 

After all, if you mail something secret and the receiver will tell
it further, no encryption protocol is going to protect you against
that.
