I've seen speculation that there was a language barrier, given that this is an Indian company.

The theory was that someone misinterpreted 384-bit keys to mean the key must be a number between 1-384.

I think that's entirely made up, but it wouldn't be completely implausible to have happened while someone tried to troubleshoot why the first attempt failed.

The discussion in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2083449 really doesn't sound like that, but who knows what's getting lost in the "fog of war" we're currently getting on this all.

I mean, what we call "Arabic numerals" actually originated in India. Indians, generally speaking, can comprehend numbers.

A language barrier is not an acceptable excuse, especially in a country where the primary language of technology firms is English.
