All random means is unpredictable. Your computer can generate "random" numbers. Actually pseudorandom numbers as they are generated by an algorithm and are therefore predictable. But if the algorithm is unknown it's just as good as any other "random."

(Can anything in this universe be unpredictable - random - or is it we simply don't know the algorithm?)

And distribution is not relevant as it is defined by the user. Do I want a Poisson distribution? No, for this use a Gaussian would be better.

Which explains a lot.
