Gee, you missed my point.
Your original complaint was that natural selection was a non-random process in a sea of random processes. Hence, you implied that the video was justified to call the whole evolutionary thing a totally random process.
At this point, I'm not even talking about evolution. Any program that uses the monte carlo method would have a single selective if-then statement in a sea of random numbers (I'm talking about literally millions of random numbers here) and random equations. And yet, I've been able to make pretty patterns and very nice curves as a result of this one selective if-then statement in a sea of random processes.
So, clearly, just because a large part of a system depends on a random process doesn't mean you can make a blanket statement and call the whole thing a random process.
That's what I was bitching and moaning about when I watched the video.

Besides that, those functions are at random, so I'm unclear on why you would mention it.
Do you even know what the monte carlo method is? Have you even written a program or attempt to solve a physical or mathematical system with it?
Frankly, having dedicated a large part of my life studying and using these concepts, I find your back hand waving dismissal very insulting.
Here is another rant for you. Produce a scientific paper proving that the rest of us are dumbasses or...
