Correct. The two remaining problems is that just prevelent it is for merchants not ao accept signature berification even if their terminals do. Also what happens at unmanned kiosks which seems to be a mixed bag of non information. But then again, the question remains how much more effective as far as acceptance is concerned is chip and signature over simple magnetic strip. Clearly it is greater but the question is just how much greater.
