"Other people have no choice but to trust NIST" is not a good argument for trusting NIST. Somehow I don't imagine the NSA is concerned about -- and is probably actively in favor of -- those organizations having backdoors.

It's an argument for fixing NIST so that it is trustworthy again.

This.

One wonders if NIST can be fixed or if it should simply be abolished with all archives opened in the interest of restoring faith in the government. The damage done by NSA and NIST is much larger than either of those organizations.
