why not as random?
The numbers are somewhat predictable.
If your mouse is at coordinates 5,5 then chances are much better that the next coordinates are somewhere close to 5,5 than not; e.g. [4-6],[4-6]. It is extremely unlikely that your next coordinate will jump to 0,0, 9,0, 9,9, 0,9. Hence the predictability.
Yes, the numbers are better than nothing. But they aren't nearly as random as we want.
