Maybe. By the time Bleichenbacher was actually an issue, a number of us had 
been screaming for years. I suppose you can say that it was really subtle 
because the people concerned about it weren't listened to. But that has its own 
ick factor, too. Everything that people don't believe is subtle. Is it subtle 
that you shouldn't be using 1024 bit RSA keys? 512?
