What I meant was that if the RNG is really random, and has an equal chance to roll between 0 to 100 on every roll, or if it's pseudo and it ends up picking a favored side and an unfavored side and switching them every X amount of rerolls like in tetris. Like the PRNG would pick (between A, B, C, and D) the C as the favored side, the B as the "slightly higher than usual" side, the A as ignored, and the D as the normal 25% chance of appearance, and keep this for like 10 rolls and then switch the sides for the next 10 rolls etc. Whereas a regular RNG would just have 25% chance to all four letters every roll.
There's probably a bigger argument to this that I'm not seeing here, isn't there?
