Matthew Green once publicly criticized something I created by simply parroting what someone else had said without bothering to do his own investigation. The original criticism turned out to be hogwash, and Matthew failed to recognize an obvious real crypto problem with the first version of my feature because he was too busy trying to just quickly stick his name into someone else's feature announcement while it was still "hot off the press."

I would take anything Matthew Green blogs about with a grain of salt. It's not clear how much of what he says is just cheap amplification of what others claim.
