The whole point of technology is about control and consistency. Even with random parameters, we want their value to an item in a specific sets. When I use a tool, I want it to produce the outcome I want, not any other outcome it wants to produce. If it fails at that, it’s a defective tool.

I disagree, technologies have tradeoffs. What's your take on Monte Carlo algorithms, or any other randomized algorithm? Do you reject that too?
