If Alice does not trust the NIST curves, and Bob insists on using
them, this is a reason for Alice not to trust Bob because (in her
eyes) his security practice is lax.  Bob does not (in Alice's view)
take sufficient care to keep Alice's words confidential.  It is
reasonable for her then not to exchange confidences with Bob in this
channel.

A:  Can you keep a secret?
B:  No.
A:  Then I won't tell you any.
