At the point where you're simply equating /dev/random and /dev/urandom, you're no longer really disagreeing with anybody here. The only difference between the two is that /dev/random keeps a metric on how many bits its vended, and blocks waiting for rekeying when that metric gets too high. That's more or less a nonsensical thing to do.

I'm definitely not saying what /dev/random does makes sense. ;-)
