Yeah, but that’s the thing that makes this kind of dumb; the original article actually did list the other benefits of ECC, along with the no-questions recommendation to use Curve25519, and I trust cryptographers who say that it is easier to verify the correctness of a Curve25519 implementation than an RSA implementation. The “easier to verify correctness” part very much matters to me even if I’m not writing the code.
