proof me wrong but wouldn't the use of a HTTPS/OnionAddress render this
attack usesless?

Whats up with the title "researchers uncover method"? Like this would be
anything new?
Basically it's the concept of a MITM attack which is a serious threat[1]
as old as telecommunication itself.
The only working solution is end to end encrypted communication.
So why use inefficient and vulnerable "detection tools" to spy on tor users?

humble opinion of a barely frightened tor user.

[1]: Remark: There are sufficient opportunities for MITM attacks. (There
are still guys out there surfing the web via GSM -broken crypto- on
their mobiles.)
