This reminded me of a video I watched recently about the most common form of cheating in Magic: The Gathering: stacking the deck.
The video, by NuxTaku, did a great job of explaining how this method of randomizing the deck actually leads to a distribution which is uniform rather than random and which in turn is effectively cheating.
I haven't played MTG since the early 2000s but the video struck a chord with me because I remembered using this method and not even thinking about it (in my defence, I was a teenager) as being a problem.
So yeah, reading this article I was instantly like "er....yeah...don't ask people to make random sequences because they often have an incorrect idea of what that actually means".
