I didn't understand it either; but then I didn't expect to.

(I think it's to do with being able to tell whether the certificate used
by a site is the one you'd expect, so as to help detect MITM attacks.)

But I think it's clear you ought to go and find out (balloons or no
balloons), and maybe explain to us all.
