"Safety blanket" in https://web.archive.org/web/20260414114106/https://soatok.blog/2026/04/13/hybrid-constructions-the-post-quantum-safety-blanket/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20260418021002/https://symbolic.software/blog/2026-04-13-hybrid-constructions/ tells typical readers: using ECC+PQ, not just PQ, is for familiarity, not security. Huh? Millions of sessions used CECPQ2b=ECC+SIKE. ECC is the _only_ reason those weren't instantly exposed to the SIKE break.
