Take away #1: Eric Hartford’s article is deeply confused. (I’ve made many other specific comments that support this conclusion.) Take away #2: as evidenced by many comments here, many HN commenters have failed to check the source material themselves. This has led to a parade of errors. I’m not here to say that I’m better than that because I’ve screwed up a’plenty. We all make mistakes sometimes. We can choose to recognize and learn from them. I am saying this: as a community we can and should aim higher. We can start by owning our mistakes.

Since you read this report in full, can you please give me the authors' names? I did read it (partially) and didn't find any name. I am, for sure, a beginner in NIST's reports reading, but I found out that a lot of NIST reports are signed (ie you can know who wrote the report, on behalf of whom if external contractor).
