In addition, he assumes that the prediction of some events cannot be done with a good resolution. However, none of these considerations apply. My RNG is: rdtsc <some small code> rdtsc ==> now you simply measure the execution time of the code. That time shows variances. And I just pick them up and magnify them. The key is that you always have these varations on all kinds of CPUs. And as mentioned before, I think the key reason is that the clock cycles of the CPU mismatch with the RAM / Cache clock cycles.
