Hello Disinfo Agent,

What are the different kinds of randomness? The kind of randomness I was thinking about for the hypothetical RNG is one where given infinite time, all real numbers would be enumerated. Would this be perfect uniform randomness?

You said that the probability of getting a number can be zero, and went onto say that this does not mean the RNG would spit out no numbers whatsoever. Can this be in the case of a perfect uniform RNG (if that is the right term for what I'm thinking about), where the probability of getting any number should be equal to the probability of any other number? Can an event that has zero probability still occur?
