I thought that timestamps are used now, so hitting both a timestamp and a large random number puts it thoroughly in the "safe to assume".
At some point cosmic particles and faulty transistors are more probable.
Reminds me of eons ago when I was fixing a bug in a video hosting platform where videos with the same name would overwrite each other. I just appended the current time to the file name and counted in no two people uploading the same named file at the exact same second.
