Hmmm... would this mean that quantum events aren't "random", they're pseudorandom, like the "random number generators" used by computers? You can predict them if you know the algorithm used to generate them and the seed value, but if you don't know them, it's very hard to figure out what they were.
For example, here's a string of pseudorandom digits:
718281828459045235360287471352662497757247093699959574966967627724076630353
If you don't recognize the algorithm used to generate them, it looks like the kind of random digits you get by rolling an unbiased ten-sided die.
Yes, this is exactly what I'm getting at. My inspiration was that there is a mathematically precise way of finding such a "random" sequence.
Incidentally, did you recognize the sequence I posted?
EDIT: WOW I'm dumb, it's the decimal expansion of e.
