The issue is not that it's random. The issue is that people don't like random. They want patterns, rules, reasons, causes, someone to blame.
This has nothing to do with intelligence or education. It's simply that our brains are wired that way. For most things, doing that works. So we want it to work for everything. And, when it does not work, we tend to pick and choose the facts until they fit a pattern, follow a rule, have some reason, or can be blamed on someone else.
One of those picked-and-chosen facts is that none of us (people like Callie, me, many others) wrote the programs. So, when we say it's not done, out statement does not fit the chosen rule (that is: the program favors someone else and is cheating ME!). So our assurances fall on deaf ears.
