- Dylan16807 6y agoRight, I'm not disagreeing with that. But I bet that the main goal is not "Let's make this change so it sounds more random, and then people will like it because they think it's randomer." Rather, it's "Let's make this change so it sounds better, and also as a side effect people might think it's more random."
