Oh no man, I'm not picking on you. This is an excellent article to explain the basics of random number generation. If you'd gotten into the weeds on it it wouldn't be as accessible.
There is important terminology in the world of all this stuff though, particularly "not all random numbers are the same" can confuse someone who then begins learning more about it.
Artistic license is good.

What do you mean by “kind of random number generator”? Aren’t they all the same?" Sorry if I came off snippy. I definitely appreciate the feedback.
