Interesting point, Bitcoin's private keys are 256-bit - was Satoshi just wasting space?

So, Bitcoin's private keys have 128 bits of entropy when the public key is known, e.g. you're reusing an address, and 160 bits when they're unspent - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1523431.msg15324846#msg15324846.
