IMO, it makes a whole lot of sense.
Notice that if your strategy could select many stocks to trade, if you
do not use Random(), the system is biased to those stocks whose symbols
are near the front of the alphabet.
You can use Random() to set up an optimization to run say 1000
iterations overnight. Export the results to your favorite spread sheet
and see a more realistic distribution of returns you might expect.

I should clarify that by setting PositionScore=Random(), runs with
exactly the same parameters will not produce the same results. This is
because, in the cases where the portfolio becomes fully invested, a
different set of stocks will populate the portfolio each run.
