You ask your cryptographically secure random number generator for a number between 1 and 2^384 (that's 39 digits worth of possibilities, or roughly 10^115 unique values), and it confidently returns... 4. Twice in a row. Sure, the RNG is technically correct—4 IS within the range and each number has equal probability. But when you're dealing with a number space larger than the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe, getting the same single-digit number twice feels like the universe is gaslighting you. The security team swears the entropy is fine, but your gut says someone forgot to seed the generator properly. Nothing screams "we have a problem" quite like a PRNG with commitment issues to the number 4.
