Okay, makes sense if you define "distinguishable from random" as "decodable with an amount of computation polynomial in the randseed size".
EDIT: Confidence is about standard cryptographically strong randomness plus thermal noise being sufficient to prevent expected correlation with bits playing a functional role, which is all that could possibly be relevant to cognition.
Note that this is standard notation when one discusses pseudorandom generators. Hence Ciphergoth's comment about "the usual definitions."
