You don’t get it clearly. They’re playing dirty. At best the FOIA will receive a document made on the fly with nothing of value. The rules don’t apply to the NSA. You can do exactly nothing. But NIST, you can do something about - reject any standard they approve. It’s your choice what algorithm you use, and we know NIST will select a broken algorithm for the NSA, so just ignore their ‘standard’.
The best solution is using layers of crypto, trusting no single algorithm.

You should tell Bernstein that! Your logic implies he's wasting his time with the suit.

"You shouldn't fight because the baddies are strong!" is a horrible argument in my book. Discouraging and disparaging other people's attempts is even worse.

I’m not saying don’t fight. I’m saying don’t let your opponent define the rules of the game.
