Overheard at brunch at the table next to us: Some millennials talking about pi day and how many digits of pi they can recite.
This is of course true, but its bearing on human abilities to simulate and to grasp randomness seems to me unclear.

Well, somehow the preceding discussion implied that one ought to be able to detect made up pi digits due to them not being random enough.

There is certainly at least some empirical evidence of normality, though, would you not agree? And perhaps that is enough to justify suspicion of any putative digit string that seems pretty clearly to privilege some digit over others?
