The statement: set the randomseed to x is not consistent. In both the Rev and MC documentation, x must be an integer. So, for example, set the randomseed to the seconds works in the sense that a new and different sequence is subsequently generated by random and any statements. But set the randomseed to the ticks, or set the randomseed to the milliseconds, both fail in that the same sequence is generated every time. Yet, each of the ticks/the milliseconds/the seconds is an integer return true. It appears clear that the randomseed property requires small integers (on the order of the seconds). But, it is still the case that even though the ticks is an integer, is is too large of an integer for the randomseed property.
