"there would have been a vicious circle in implementation"

No. There isn't. Because RSA-CSPRNG is not the only way to generate RSA
keys. Therefore no "vicious cycle".

The posting is so full of errors that it makes my stomach turn.

It starts with the fact that you don't even know what the blocksize of
AES-128 vs. AES-256 is. Hint: They're identical.

Then you continue to say that the output entropy would be half the
output bits. How do you arrive at this conclusion? It is clearly an
obviosly false. If AES were an ideal block cipher, the amount of output
entropy would be the output blocksize. 128 bits for AES.

Then you seem to assume that nonces are reused. They is not. CTR mode of
operation is not safe when nonces are reused, this is a blantly obvious
fact. One that even stands in every textbook should you ever read one.

If counters are not reused and AES were a perfect block cipher, there is
no correlation between outputs. Your whole conclusion therefore makes
zero sense.

Your amateurish understanding of cryptography combined with the
stubborness on completely obvious topics makes for a dangerous combination.

Cheers,
Johannes
