I do not understand what you are trying to convey in your message. I never mentioned Cloudflare and neither did the comment I was responding to. What part of my comment led you to believe I was presenting/responding-to a claim made by cloudflare?
The article is about Cloudfare saying their keys are safe.
We were discussing implications of someone winning the Cloudfare challenge. You suggested the fall of the challenge would confirm Neel being wrong? I was alluding to Neel's position that that any key leaking is "unlikely" - a much more tenuous position than Cloudfare's.
But maybe you meant that he's alrady been proven wrong, and the nsa would be another? Then I did misinterpret that bit.
Too often you seem lame jokes like the original comment that require the belief that NSA is leaps and bounds ahead of the world in infosec AND yet NSA is composed of bumbling morons. NSA would be grossly incompetent if they knew how to retrieve the private key AND then informed the world of their offensive capability. This is a basic tenet of intelligence operations, you do not publicize your capabilities to your adversaries.

Never let 'em know your next move
Don't you know bad boys move in silence and violence?
