From what I understand, generating truly random numbers is no trivial matter, requiring quantum operations, so when they mentioned how its microchips are "no more complex than the ones found in modern pocket calculators", I became skeptical.
Thats not to say that our human minds could not be somehow affecting the simple pseudorandom number generation electromagnetically (assuming the test is well controlled, to rule out other factors) - but on such a scale? I dunno...
I'd love to see this test done on a quantum computer...
