well, I agree with your analysis. There is no concrete evidence that the
NIST curves may be flawed, and a general belief that not all crypto
standards of NIST are flawed or backdoored... So it makes sense to accept
the curves, but ultimately this is a political decision (and a personal
decision about which type of key a user creates).
