And even bloggers get randomness wrong!
Most of us have an intuitive sense that random things are evenly distributed, which is true in the very very long run, but not true at all on the scales we generally experience things.
This is not true, actually. A random variable can have an even distribution, but it doesn't have to. It might have a normal distribution, or even some kind of skewed distribution.
