I have (actually, twice. Once when it was posted sometimes ago on HN, and once now before writing the comment).
What threw me off was that part: "Still, if you insist on never handing out random numbers that are not “backed” by sufficient entropy, you might be nervous here. I'm sleeping sound because I don't care about the entropy estimate."
I was missing the fact that the CSPRNG only needs to be seeded once to be safe, and reseeding is only a "nice thing" that's not really needed. To be fair, the article cover this, I guess I just didn't understand that part really well.
I've got it now, and it actually make sense. Thanks to you, and everyone else that used some time to educate me.
