Growing up in a family of hunters, I learned at an early age that even if someone tells you a firearm is unloaded you should still clear the chamber and store it pointed in a safe direction... especially if someone tells you "no, really, it's perfectly safe, I just checked it". I apply the same to any file claiming to be a random seed. No matter who tells me it's safe to copy it I'm not going to copy it, and I think other people would be best served to adopt the same rule. :)
