No, you're missing what they said. True randomness can be delivered to a computer via a peripheral - an integrated circuit or some such device that can deliver true randomness is not that difficult.

Maybe I'm misreading it but I think the OP understands that.

If you feed that true randomness into a computer, what use is it? Will it impair the computer at the very tasks in which it excels?

Chemical reactions are "predictable and reproducible", as well as quantum interactions, so does that make you a computer?

This comment thread is dull. I'm bailing out.
