That's pretty messed up, guess that's another sombering fact to the pile. I'd have expected that serious security stuff always involves mechanized math proofs every step of the way, making such silly mischaracterizations impossible. Not a fun thing to learn that this is not what happens.

Not only messed up, but I am guessing that there are either politics involved (personal gain, friends of friends, etc), or somebody paid somebody to push Kyber over NTRU. Which is difficult or impossible to prove, ESPECIALLY if that "person" is senator or "other". (Since I failed civics, I have no idea what forces are involved in something like this, but it all sounds really fishy).
