At what point do we draw the line and say that these methods are sufficiently random? The task at hand is to come up with a sequence you perceive as random based on the numbers themselves, so adding layers like this seems to go against the concept of the experiment entirely.
How is this different from opening up my JavaScript console and doing Math.random() several times?
This whole experiment has more to do with defining what humans perceive as randomness. Of course, different humans are different. Ramunijan and his 1729 taxi, or a cryptographer studying some (apparently) random string, will keep going when others would not. Interestingly, the same is true for source code, or in the physical realm, looking at the innards of a modern car. It looks random to the layman! But of course it isn't at all.
I'm certainly no expert in randomness generators but the notion has been floating around for awhile that quantum indeterminancy is the best option. Here's a paper on it:
> "The presented above examples clearly show that classic random number generators may be exposed to various attacks, or may have the so-called backdoors. This justifies the need to develop alternative technologies that could replace the classic generators on a large scale. The most promising, because they have a fundamental justification for the randomness in the formalism of quantum mechanics, are quantum random number generators."
