I am a security consultant with so many certs it is not even funny. I do pen testing for credit unions and such... and you could not be more wrong! It is MUCH worse to hide an SSID! When you hide your SSID, your devices that you have configured to use this network have to send out wireless "are you there" packets that advertise to everyone, everywhere you go, what your "hidden" SSID is.
Think that is still not a big deal?! Just visit wigle.net and look up your SSID to see the exact GPS location of your home!
