1. Having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective: random movements. See Synonyms at chance.
2. Mathematics & Statistics. Of or relating to a type of circumstance or event that is described by a probability distribution.
3. Of or relating to an event in which all outcomes are equally likely, as in the testing of a blood sample for the presence of a substance.
That is dictioary.com's definition or random. Do you have another to use? Because the way I read it flipping a coin is for all intents and purposes a truly random event. To say
"
For example, rolling a dice is not random by nature, it is simply beyond our minds (and computers) to predict its outcome, making it in effect random to us for practical reasons." means that anything we post could be naysaid ( is that a word) using that logic.
