I actually thought that was a bit unfair. Is it a misuse to use three times as much concrete as is strictly necessary? That would make the Empire State Building a "misuse" of concrete. Even if you aren't doing Empire State Building levels of overkill having engineering margins is a very well accepted thing. Is extracting 4096 bits from /dev/random for a 4096-bit RSA key "misuse" when said key only has between 200-300 bits of cryptographic strength? Meh.... I've got more important things to worry about; public key generation happens so rarely. And I do use a hardware random number generator[1] as a supplement when I generate new GPG keys.
