Trust me, it's perfect for all practical pourposes...And why should we trust you? Because you have been a computer game reviewer in the last 23 years? You sure are an authority  Because I work with numerical simulation of random systems is a good answer? No, it isn't. It is an "argumentum ad auctoritas" 
 First, I gave a somehow longer answer in this same thread. Second, when you contact a specialized professional (doctor, lawyer, engeneer, programmer) you do not expect him to enter deeply in details. It is normally sufficient to have his opinion together with a rough explanation of the way he got it. And you normally accept it exactly out of his authority. Third (but not last) I am personally sick of people with a bad understanding of statistic and large numbers law. Like people betting fortunes on retarding numbers in lottery. But this is my fault.
