You did, but you didn't claim that NIST followed your recommendation.

I only said that they mirrored it, not followed it. Not quite the same.

During the interview, Burr also admitted that he didn't know much about how passwords worked when he created the memo.
WTF are you doing making a memo then? Not that we probably really understood the potential issues at that point, but still.

Because he was fucking paid to write the memo. Do what you're told or find a new job.
Obviously.

We all knew whoever did it didn't know the first thing about passwords. But why the NIST let him make it... that's the real question.

@scottalanmiller is that really the question.
More importantly why does it fucking matter. It was written so long ago and there has been plenty of time and evidence that what was written down was complete bullshit.
