I questioned one of my epidemiology professors once about the favorability of true randomness vs. a pseudorandom generator using this example: dilbert.com/strip/2001-10-25

I think the question was over both of our heads at the time and what I was getting at is that regardless of the generator's source quality, if the output doesn't pass some mean and variance checks on generated sets, it should probably be regenerated.
