Why would it be fair to suggest such a thing, when there's zero
verifiable evidence for it, and published accounts (e.g. Levy's) to
the contrary? See:

I think the Don Coppersmith talk that Roger referred to was "The
Development of DES" from Crypto 2000. Maybe there is a transcript
somewhere. If someone here is in contact with Don Coppersmith (he is
no longer at IBM), maybe they could ask him.
