Even tought the article is about true random number, pseudo random is more valuable for scientific simulations. In those simulations you don't typically want true randomness, you want a generator that pass a suite of randomness tests while having the ability to repeat that stream of numbers to replicate your experiment. Sometimes, you even discard numbers so different simulation runs with different parameters consume the same amount of numbers. A simplistic example: if rand()<.5 : doSomethingWithRand(rand()) else: doSomethingWithoutRand() rand()
