I don't think he's unwilling to cooperate, and I don't mean to pick on the guy, because he's basically become a whipping boy. I think the reason he reacts so adversely to the criticism is the obvious use of him by bloggers and "crypto pundits" to bolster themselves. It's not constructive, and I don't wish to encourage that.
That said, security issues are still security issues, and my tl;dr as someone no one on this site cares about is for Nadim to just stick with a set of crypto primitives and protocol design that work, fix the problems that arise and stay there until he's more confident in what he's doing.
