> The flaw in your post is that deterministic does not mean showing everyone the same thing. Though to be fair, a random number generator would be used to determine which users to expose the article too (just not how many of them).

Well to be fair, what you are describing is a random experiment in the statistical sense, ie. something modeled by a probability space. I see what you're saying, but I would say your usage of the word is the nonstandard one, not chilldream's.
