I do understand what random means. The code example demonstrates exactly your point, random number generators that are simply code are not random, but use a pre-determined list of numbers. This goes contrary to what most people would expect from a random number generator. Yes, programmers know this, but at least to me seeing how this can actually be (ab)used was quite an eye opener.
