Not at all. Sure, tape wouldn't fool good bike thieves, but most bike thieves aren't good bikes thieves, so saying that the tape idea is a fail is false for the majority case. Hence why it contradicts the other two statements. Not to mention that if a thief wants to sell said taped bike, they'd have to remove said tape to sell it at the best price, requiring time and effort, othen something most thieves aren't willing to put in to try to make a "quick buck."
