 I took your post as an "argument" only as in the "discussion" sense 
 of the word, nothing more.

I believe your basic idea was along the lines that most random number
generators fall below the level of randomness of truely random natural
systems.
This reminds me of a point that Will Provine tried to make in a seminar
last year. Namely is there any such thing as random genetic drift?
That is, are the various biological processes involved truely 
random. (Let alone does drift really occur). That's all I'm willing
to say at this point, since its really a thread for bionet.pop-bio.
