Nick,

You are summarily restating the position of the paper you are co-authoring. You may recall that I was a bit critical of that position in my comments on that paper. I remain so.

1) there are different ways to try random,

2) there are different stuffs to be tried, and

3) there are different ways to reproduce.

The particular, concrete ways used to do 1, 2, & 3 constitute the theory.
