The article implies that the off-by-one error in the Cryptocat random number generator is catastrophic. Correct me if I am wrong, but surely that is hardly the case. The random numbers generated are a tiny bit less uniformly distributed than they would be without the error. That's an imperfection but does it have any practical consequences at all ? I know that flaws like this can introduce weaknesses that are vulnerable to attacks, but my intuition tells me this flaw is very close to the "doesn't matter" end of the catastrophic->doesn't matter spectrum. I am more than willing to be educated by someone with specialised domain knowledge.
