PRNG use makes for reasonably compact and readable test generation, and
totally easy enough to reproduce and diagnose failures, IMO.

On the contrary, if we use static sets of cases or cases generated by
simpler combinations of static sets of partial inputs, then it will be
harder to read and understand whether the coverage is complete enough,
thus increasing the risk of a bug (omission) in the tests.
