I wonder... Might there be a random process which actually *can* be 
verified? Say, something relying on quantum entanglement and the 
uncertainty principle? So that you could somehow both have a stream of 
random events and a separate verification stream which somehow lets you 
(statistically) prove, after the fact, that whatever the other guy got 
really was derived from a physically speaking indeterminate source?
