Then sell the video rights to cow pie bingo to a global audience, as people from around the world watch in eager anticipation hoping their future in the one that gets shit upon! I love it as a farce - add a love interest and it's a short film waiting to happen.

Precedence and precedent have very different meanings. I think you meant to say that there is a precedent.

That said, it sounds like a definition of random is clearly specified and it was not met, so precedent isn't important.

Rolling a die isn't truly random either. Given the same environmental conditions and the same force vectors, you will always get the same result.

I think their definition of true randomness is flawed. It does not matter whether it's truly random, rather it should about whether it's random to a point where it's out of the operator's control and ability to predict.

Given absolutely identical conditions, yes. Ignoring quantum effects. But rolling a die is definitely in the realm of chaotic behavior, especially when any reasonable force is applied, so extremely minor changes cause massive, unpredictable end results.

In practice, such precise conditions are completely impossible, and the end result is unpredictable as long as it tumbles enough times. Shake it around in a cup to randomize the starting location, and you're as good as you can get.
