Thank you for the suggestion, but after reading the edit and the associated discussion, I think we should decline. To my eyes, the edit doesn't clarify anything but I do see how it might feel a little more satisfying to a highly technical user like yourself who already thoroughly understand PRNG periods, state spaces, shuffling algorithms etc. For other users, I think the current text has served us well for almost two decades. |
