A weak password is always better than no password. It's like using a cheap lock on your door or not locking it. Practically, if a thief wants to get through he'll get through but your insurance and sentencing will look different.

As I said before, if someone’s determined enough to spend a lot of time find OS level vulnerabilities and exploit them to decrypt my disk, they will certainly have enough time and determination to break a weak password.
