I would agree with all of this also, I think. :)
But can you or someone demonstrate *any* generator which produces (e.g.) the
current value of max() for std::normal_distribution<float> {0, 1}? I can find
no generator implementation which does that, and by my reading of the
implementation there cannot be one.
