To circle back to my original post, the FFT was used to detect
patterns by a Cloudflare employee in RAM refresh.
If there are cyclical patterns, a FFT would detect some of them.
A RNG that fails a statistical test may not be broken if the problem
can be worked around. Otherwise you're all stupid and I should stop
using Linux, and maybe go back to using rock and sticks.
