And a non NIST person verified that the curves were /not/ generated by 
the described process after the scandal broke.

The process that actually generates the curves looks like the end result 
of trying a trillion curves, until you hit one that has desirable 
properties, which desirable properties you are disinclined to tell 
anyone else.
