What makes it random is taking away the minute control over the outcome and not having the monitoring devices to predict it.

I guess random then, is truly measured by what you know or can know. Even the seemingly most random event, a coin-toss, could be reduced to an easily predictable event. And there is a lot unknown still about what can and cannot be known eventually...

I don't really have answers; I just have scenarios.
