No. Sybils / forgeries are influence attacks on the network itself (evil nodes,
eg: identities). Compromise the network and whatever rides on top of
it is compromised. Though attack on users by evil exits literally sniffing
goes away if the network has no exit feature (only hidden), nodes are
still relays, and Sybil there is still Sybil, regardless of her purpose.
(Such as getting lucky enough to carry your entire circuit, or modulate
your traffic flows.)
