I had a prety nasty comment about it, I don't think it's right to completely dismiss it though.

I had a read of that and If it works then its way ahead of its time. I have my doubt though, they dont really explain where it gets its randomness from though.

Just because something has a high correlation doesn't mean its necessarily true. It's like my psych teacher said," Just because there's a high correlation between ice cream and crime doesn't mean that ice cream is a cause of crime or crime is a cause of ice cream."
