Thanks for the first paragraph. I came here to clarify this, but you beat me to it.
More clearly: a quantum noise generator can have a design such that someone who only understands classical mechanics will understand based on that design that it is a noise generator. They just won't catch the detail that this noise has an additional property.
The above statement may depend on the implementation, but I meant in principle, so there it is.
Someone who only understands classical mechanics will not understand a noise generator. Classical physics is deterministic, so noise generators are impossible.
Only if you're omniscient. A noise generator is a way of controllably injecting your ignorance of some system into a particular channel.
