I haven’t read much of the for or against, so it’s certainly possible there’s a whole hidden web of ulterior motives at play here that I’m unaware of (rather than just “there’s a lot of pre-existing bad blood I’m unaware of, which is why both sides are snippy and pedantic”), but I feel compelled to object to this “nuance” point you make. The argument I see being made is “there is NSA pressure to document standalone MLKEM, so that there can be NSA pressure to adopt standalone MLKEM”, which seems fairly straightforward and without nuance to me.
