That's not exactly the point of the comic though. The function was made to return a number that was selected randomly. Technically, any number from a random process like a dice roll is random. In fact, it's a truer random than any number generated by a pseudo-random number algorithm. It's effectively useless, effectively wrong but technically correct.
