This occurred to me last night while reviewing my comment on your
seeding method. Does a different randomSeed guarantee a different
random sequence in the same way that the same seed produces the same
sequence? (I had a feeling this was relevant to my argument but then I
fell asleep. :-) ) It might be useful to know this.
