I assume the Google engineers have a sense of humor
I realize the OP is explicitly (w/r/t 4) a reference to XKCD, but See Also: Dilbert 2001-10-25 :)

That's a reference to the PS3's RNG.
I always thought the same when seeing that XKCD comic, but turns out it was the opposite. PS3 hack (2010) came 3 years after the XKCD comic(2007), they even used it as one of slides during 27C3 presentation. https://media.ccc.de/v/27c3-4087-en-console_hacking_2010#t=2...
Oh my.
