no, actually, that does not look random.
It should be 'close',
it should be 'around'
but it should only very rarely be 'exactly'.
There should be surprising long runs of 'no girls' and/or 'no boys',
just as there should be the odd times where it goes boy-girl-boy-girl-...
If a large number of people present pedigree counts showing exactly 50/50 splits, I would look for player-action as the cause long before I presumed a problem in the underlying system. Most likely, it would simply mean people were trading or menagerie-ing to get to an even split.
Long ago, we're talking years, back when KittyCatS had only been out a few weeks, KittyCatS Resident and I had a private talk about it. He'd been monitoring the split and it was running around 43% female at the time. There was a little concern that this was a bit too far off. But, a few days later, it was running about 47% male. So it was declared 'good' and that was that. I image, now, with millions and millions of data points, it's running very, very close to 50% but, still, it should almost never be exactly evenly split.
Not sure who you're speaking to here but; as for me, I only meant mine seem to balance out to an approximate 50/50 split with very little focus on sales or menagering offs. I haven't counted those few in the numbers from the pedigree page. If I only count the Confettis which are very challenging to breed then yes, I had a long run of girls which as you stated is to be expected but overall, the system seems to work.
