> A normal number would mean that every finite sequence of digits is contained within the number.

Is that true? I don't see how that could be true. The sequence 0-9 repeated infinitely is, by definition, a normal number (in that the distribution of digits is uniform)

...and yet nowhere in that sequence does "321" appear ...or "654" ...or "99"

There are an infinite number of combinations of digits that do not appear in that normal number I've just described. So, I don't think your statement is true.
