I'm not sure what you mean by "randomness would be predictable". For example, it is possible to do this if you know the bias.

  If you can predict precisely how often in an input stream randomness occurs, it's not randomness.

    Knowing the bias is not knowing exactly how often each results come out... it is still probabilistic...

      Yeah, that's why you can't predict how long you'll wait for a random bit in an entropy extractor.

        I give up. Thankfully somebody else in this thread gave an answer.
