I did notice that, as I stated before. But the function is named
'random seed', which implies it is to seed an RNG, *not* that is in an
RNG. I think this could leave people to conclude the sequence will be

I did notice that, but what's the point of a random seed? I think this
could leave people to conclude the sequence will be cryptographically
sucure. So whilst I'm not disagreeing with what you say, and agree the
