I was interested in that statement too. Then as I thought about it something I think we all overlooked. The last time Urahara is known to have used the Hogyoku was 100 years ago. What we forget is that he had it for 100 years, whose to say he didn't use it again. It was Aizen and his ego that assumed that Urahara was afraid of it or didn't know how to use it or what it was. The only thing from all that Urahara has admitted to is that at the time 100 years ago he didn't know how to use it correctly. Urahara then states that he has mastered it well before Aizen got his hands on it. So something is definitely up. If im looking at the guy who has had 100 years to figure it out verses the guy with a handful of months. No matter if that guy is Aizen im going with the creator who had 100 years verses the thief with a couple of months.
