I mean, when you collapse that logic you're effectively saying random is the same thing as non-deterministic. But they're different things, because even if an infinitesimally exact moment in time may "always" produce the same result, because the arrow of time only points in one direction, no such deterministic result can ever be replicated, and if the result cannot be replicated, then what is the difference from random?
