"TE changes were nonrandom in two ways. Firstly, the same DNA element could insert repeatedly at new target sites; and, secondly, TE mobility and mutagenic activity was activated by specific organismal stress conditions."

Neither of those things proves that changes are nonrandom. I have not found a single example of nonrandom mutation in the article, just learned about new ways DNA might mutate in living organisms.
