Yes, I agree: that is what conspiracy theorists do regardless of the facts on the ground. But that's tangential to my point. People on HN found the "goto fail" bug damning because of the specific form it took (among other reasons), and I'm happy to point out how damning that form turns out not to be.

The fact that GnuTLS is extraordinarily unlikely to host an NSA backdoor helps my point, which is why I brought it up.
