If a standard document uses C code to describe std behavior, but that C code relies on UB, may an implementation do whatever they want?

Would it has to do with "oversimplification" or "over defining" them? Genuinely curious ! (i.e has a backstory) Thanks.
I'd say it has to do with standardizing the existing implementation. "How does the RNG work?" - "Don't know, just copy the code to the std."

Of course I can't be sure that's what happened, but it feels like a plausible explanation for how buggy C code ended up in the standard doc.

sounds very plausible to me too. And in regard to what
@ico_TC mentioned, root case would be oversimplification or overdefining standards?
