Obviously, you're not paranoid enough. :-)

There are tradeoffs with any encryption method. If you want plausible
deniability, then you have to go with the hidden volume method. If you
just want to protect your data, and don't want to bother with having to
figure out what size to make your container file, then EncFS seems
entirely adequate.
