Which makes me question describing this as a "deliberate backdoor."

It's pretty clearly a deliberate backdoor.

And that is supported by the known past actions of "some government authorities". This is definitely not the first time the US government has deliberately sabotaged crypto.

It's deliberate in making the crypto so weak that our guys can decrypt their guys' radio traffic.

How's that not a backdoor?
