Isn't random uncertainty a pleonasm (redundant)? since anything but random is somewhat certain (in the "predictable" sense). Call it simply, uncertainty. Random is assumed. :rolleyes: (I'm just playing around)

Yes, but what if I am uncertain if I blundered, or I blunder randomly?

You shouldn't be having pleonasms here in front of everyone:nono:, unless they're random, of course, but I'm uncertain.
