> Considering you were the grandparent

God no, GP here means the contextual grandparent of the topic, as it always does. GP means the person I responded to. Why in the world would I respond to myself just because "GP"?

If you haven't read the rules, you need to be giving the most gracious reading of the comment chain here. Pretty obvious what the implication was. Try reading again.

> As far as I’m concerned a electronic bistable generator that is biased through manipulation is effectively a “weighted coin”

Oh cool you're trying to impose a change of topic from the ability to literally bias a coin when a normal person flips it randomly, into telling me to defeat... all attempts of people manipulating all RNGs ever?

Super weird angle for a discussion about flipping coins. Not really interesting.
