How do you know you got real entropy instead of a replay of an already recorded stream of events?


That's not the threat model (and it can't be a threat model, it's impossible to defend against), the threat model is people accidentally replaying an exact boot (which is more likely than accidentally replaying everything and also failing to seed the VM.)
