Right, the reason I'm splitting hairs is that in my intuition, the whole rationale for 6979 is to eliminate the possibility of fully repeated nonces, for instance because your RNG is "unseeded". You can still end up with a biased nonce even if you're using a perfectly seeded random bit generator (as you can see here). But yeah I think we understand each other.

As you can probably see, I just love this bug class, is all.
