I think that's the essence of Jon's idea. But there is a refinement we could make. Oracles don't have to be embodied in a person(ality). In some ways, Gisin's idea of distant digits in real numbers or a random process are non-personal oracles by some definition. Deterministic sensitivity to initial conditions and fractal dimension might be other members of the same class.
