That doesn't reduce entropy, it just fails to increase it.



It might reduce it, if it XORs away entropy that was previously XOR'd into it.


You're talking about entropy pools as if they just XOR'd their inputs, which is demonstrably false.


Isn't a common way of combining entropy sources just XOR'ing them together?
