Why randomness means incomplete understanding

In summary, we lack a fundamental understanding of the measurement process in quantum mechanics. This lack of understanding leads to problems with our ability to create a faithful miniuniverse or deterministic simulator.

I know this experiment, but what has it to do with your claim that "one man's random is not another man's random"?

I should have said that "one man's 'independent' is not another man's 'independent'". Meaning that some people find it necessary to go to great extremes to guarantee that two sources of numbers are independent.
