Let's say this description is very conservative and mostly written for
security evaluations. The "up to 16 bytes of weak random " is not even
correct for Linux because there we will always read 16 bytes from
/dev/urandom and thus the whole theoretical attack won't work. I'll
revise the description a bit.
