It may be my (somewhat archaic) sense of crypto humor, but any time I read the term "Dual EC", my mind says "CE lauD", making it sound like someone saying the word "cloud" with an accent expressing a lot of disdain[1].

Anyway, the Dual EC backdoor, if real, along with the extra randomness, may yet prove to be part of "the gubment's" very own cloudbusting operation, to make cloud services rain users' secrets at the push of a button...

[1]: cf. "my butt"
