If I roll a die, it is randomly sampled, but I will always get 1-6, and that is intended by the person who made the die.


Please do not confuse uniform randomness with randomness at all.

On your die, if you colour one face in black and the other 5 faces in black, rolling it will still produce a random outcome. It's just that you get a 1:5 skew.

Or look at the probability that a given C-14 carbon isotope will decay tomorrow. As far as we can tell, that's as random as it physically gets. With the die you could theoretically try to run a physics simulation to predict how it rolls, but as far as we can tell, atomic decay is intrinsically random.

However a C-14 atom has about 1 in 3 million chance to decay on any given day.


I made no claim about the distribution and frankly it has no bearing on my point or the person who said he could post two pictures. The point is there are a lot of numbers / pictures / essays / that will never be generated, and someone is controlling what is possible. In fact people are working very hard to produce distributions pleasing to them, like your die.
