LOL. You substitute a half page of prattle for a defense of your statement. It's clear then that you don't have one.

Quote from ZTroll:
What is computer programming? Gee, I don't know anything about that. Really I don't. Really, truly. You are so smart to know about computer programming, to know that random number tables are generated by computers and are therefore not producing something that is actually random.
Could have fooled me. Again, you are so smart, living such a full life, observing nature and knowing that the actions of nature are not following the programming of some formula that appears to generate random events, a formula that you know for a fact was not designed with a purpose to generate the appearance of randomness.
You are just so damn smart, really, you know I mean that...
Since you can't perceive events and can't find any relationship of the events
then we have enough to know with complete scientific certainty that the events are indeed purely random and disconnected from the overall universe itself that does appear non random.
Who needs scientific thought when we have you to tell us what computer programming of random numbers are?
I nominate you to host your own TV show, the new Mr. Wizard for our age, who can take on the mysterious subjects like random numbers and what is computer programming to explain these things to the common people.
Next, you can explain to the work what the word oxymoron means.
The way you explained random numbers, well, just genius. They came from a seed, just like a tree comes from a seed? Wow, I did not know that. So Johnny Appleseed never planted a seed randomly, fascinating. He planned to just throw them here and there with no plan at all, but that was his plan!. He wanted to give the appearance of random trees growing to fool people into thinking that the trees grew naturally in the wild without human intervention.
He too was a genius, like those computer programmers, fooling the mortal souls along the way.
Hats off to you for the most brilliant post ever. I keep thinking you can't come up with anything greater than all the other posts, but this one, by far the greatest ever from the greatest and smartest and best-est ET member ever, ever, ever, ever, ever...
