Its a bit more complicated than that. There is a fair bit of cryptography that happens where you basically cooperate with another party to communicate with the server in a way where you cant cheat.
I will quote the devs directly: “This Verifier is not “a man in the middle”. Instead, the Verifier participates in a secure multi-party computation (MPC) to jointly operate the TLS connection without seeing the data in plain text.”

Yeah, I’m not being reductive, just trying to understand the mechanics. The notary is making requests on behalf of the other, right?

Yeah, I don’t think SSH tunnel can snoop either, but maybe I misunderstand them.
