No you won't. It's a *random* number generator. The seed simply

still be random.
Sorry to nitpick, but no, it *isn't* a random number generator.
Fully agree. I had that in there, but removed 'pseudo' because I
thought it might confuse the point: That "random" includes getting the
same number twice.
