Do you read the docs of every basic feature you use? When you call a rand function, you usually expect it to be seeded. In any language, I'll only read the docs of a rand function to know how it handles bounds. You still can seed it manually in your tests if you want a deterministic behavior.

It's like if you used `time.Now()` only to discover that you first have to call `time.StartClock()` for it to work as expected, it can make sense but is not the commonly expected behavior.
