To the same effect that even computers aren't random, But just a series of scripts or commands to make something look random. Casinos are quite happy about the perception of that facade.

That has to do with the way I word things. If I start anything with "Eh" it's often a signifier that I am about to say something that opposes what was previously said without taking an actual stance against it. Of course, I don't think anyone realizes that but me, including those I speak to regularly. But, the sentence was intended to mean "Well, it could be seen this way. . ." I understand the dictionary definition of the term and was not trying to define it, but I acknowledge that there are degrees in which why a person could mistake a disjunct stream of consciousness for randomness.
