"Choose randomly" is generally understood to mean "choose randomly from a probability distribution containing as much entropy as possible given the problem." I mean, I could choose from the probability distribution {0.001, 0.001, 0.998} but it's commonly understood that this isn't what's meant by the word "random".

PS: I chose 2. Eat that, seveners!
