I was referring to https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/423.pdf, which looking back, 
Deidre wasn't even a coauthor (my bad - I thought Deidre presented it; 
obviously my advanced age has not improved my memory).

In any case:
        - I was certainly not impugning Deidre herself.  If my words came 
across that way, well, that's a bad choice of words on my part, and I apologize 
for my clumsy wording.
        - I am also not impugning Nina Bindel and Britta Hale (the authors of 
the work I was referring to).
        - I did mean to impugn 2023/423 - I personally think that it is complex 
(anything that involves opening up the crypto engine is infeasible in some 
environments), and doesn't address a real problem that isn't addressed by the 
simple 'lets concatenate the signatures' approach.

I hope to be more careful with my words in the future.
