In the other thread I argued that, since an algorithm of CSPRNG
given in HAC is based on RSA, there would have been a vicious
circle in implementation, if the generation of RSA keys had required
from the outset an CSPRNG. (If this 2nd CSPRNG is not available,
then the implementation of the first CSPRNG is obviously impossible.
If the 2nd CSPRNG is available, then in the clearly majority of cases
in practice one would (for convenience and economy) simply use that
2nd CSPRNG and not spend any additional time and efforts to do an
implementation for the 1st CSPRNG.

Is there any logical error in my argument above?
