Assigning the number 100 to the temperature pure water boils at sea level under specific conditions is as random as it gets.
No, it’s literally not. 212 is much more random. Any number like 10, 100, 1000 etc. is less random than any other number, simply by virtue of our decimal system. Just like 2,4, 8 etc. are less random in a binary system.
My guy, I’m not arguing whether the boiling temperature of water is a random point (because it isn’t random in any way, and I’m not interested in arguing that). I’m arguing one simple thing: assigning something on a scale to 100 is much less random than assigning it to 212.
You have no understanding of randomness if you think that 100 is equally random as 212 in our decimal system. No, not every number is equally random, no matter how often you repeat it.

Acknowledging that powers of a number systems base are special in that system isn’t something I ever thought people would disagree with.
Why do you think we have concepts like “percentages”?

You’re so close to getting it - why is it not a fraction of 10, but a fraction of 100?
