Okay, but then you shouldn't say that failing to know the sequence is not a property of his ignorance. If pi works here, then not knowing the next digit is indeed a fact about your ignorance (specifically, ignorance of the result of a known procedure).
Edit: nevermind, I had misread that: yes, it makes sense to that that the agent is ignorant of the result, but that the randomness is not a fact of that agent's ignorance.
Yes, but that's still part of the anthropic argument for the Born rule, just on the other end of boundary.
