You jest but I agree. Also I think the "stochastic" arguments is getting old. What if XML was stochastic? Does it matter if it is "stochastic" or does it matter if it is correct?
You know my compiler generates a different binary every time I compile the exact same code. My CPU definitely is not fully deterministic yet it makes a nice show of it being so. I don't care and nobody cares as long as it works. And what "works" means exactly is quite a bit more involved than parroting "determinism".
