hi book author: I do recognize that. But over in physics and computerese, “pseudorandom” not only means a pattern that’s not predictable, but a pattern that produces numbers uniformly distributed across the domain. Aside from my attempt at humor, I was pointing out that there’s a lot of bias in the set of words that will come to a given person’s mind. I am willing to bet that if you had a bunch of test subjects generate a few thousand dice rolls this way, you could predict with decent accuracy which of them would be responsible for a new set of rolls which show a particular distribution.
