Well, I can't vouch for that per se, but it definitely does make a
difference.  I just don't know if the difference is good vs. bad.

Setting the random seed (and allowing a change) seems reasonable.  I
would want feedback from the people who originated this code - some of
whom I think are not as active with Sage any more, though.

Not necessarily, but if you only want the points you choose, then yes.

Though of course this is all a little OT to the current thread, and
definitely pretty low on the priority list, I assume.  Good to think
about, though.
