The key here is that the ISPs not only cannot detect encrypted URLs, they cannot detect what the user is doing, not even whether the user is trying to connect to a port or is simply transmitting packets over an already open connection or is closing a connection.

Perhaps you meant when /using Tor/ the ISP cannot detect the destination address or port number? (I read your email several times and did not detect this meaning.) Surely on a generic encrypted connection the ISP can determine the destination of the connection. (For a Tor user, that would be the the IP address of the entry guard.)
