It’s okay for people to use the word “random” without meaning secure cryptographic randomness, even in a technical setting. To be pedantic myself, the word “random” has many legitimate meanings, so we don’t need to impose the most strict version of our favorite term of art on people any time an overloaded word is used, right? It’s fine to ask or point out or discuss the nuance, but saying “I think you mean X” is likely to be an incorrect assumption, no?
