A pseudo-random noise source may be just as good as the real thing, for producing satisfyingly even-handed results.
But it turns out to be a lot harder to design a really good emulator of randomness than one might guess. Certain Monte Carlo simulations using the Mersenne Twister turned out to be oddly but unmistakeably biased.
