Right, I give up. What I should have said is, "/dev/random is a misguided attempt at information-theoretic security." Everything in its design makes it clear that its goal is information-theoretic security. I was thinking, "Oh, the mixing is good enough for practical use." But that's not what information-theoretic means. I was thinking, "Oh, assuming the entropy estimation works." But we know it doesn't. It was a stupid argument. But then again, /dev/random is stupid. Nobody gives a damn about information-theoretic security, and we don't have it anyway.
