Maybe this is too much tinfoil hattery, but are we sure DJB isn't a government asset? He'd be the perfect deep-cover agent.

Please don’t do the JTRIG thing. Dan is a national treasure and we would be lucky to have more people like him fighting for all of us.

Between the two, material evidence shows that NIST is the deep-cover agent sabotaging our cryptography.

Though 99% of the time I would agree with you, the public has to have faith in people who claim to be fighting (with previously noted successes in Bernstein v. US) in our best interests.
