Don't you want to ask Shapiro questions that would actually cast light on whether you're misunderstanding him or not? I think you need to ask him whether non-random means guided.
Shadow doesn't want those questions asked. Like most on his side of the spectrum they do not care about facts or reality. He wants to ask Shapiro questions so he can attempt to get Shapiro in a gotcha.
To Shadow, Bolder and their ilk it is not important want Shapiro meant. What matters is how the can manipulate the language of what he said to meet their needs. Honesty and integrity means nothing.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
