Won't this also pass sometimes if the polygon is inside the circle?

I think you would need to pick random points in each until you find one
that is in one and not the other. However, if the circle circumscribes the
polygon and it is very convex (or the other way around), there may be a low
probability of finding the desired point. So a more direct solution would
be preferred.
