But if you're really up against people with that much cryptanalysis
power, wouldn't they also be very advanced in different ways of attack?

I think the NIST "by 2020" argument is much stronger than a worry about
a super advanced machine that is in the worst scenario still a factor
one billion removed from actually posing a threat to 2048-bit keys.
