Description

Quote from man page:
--------------------

Theory of operation
Computers are very predictable devices. Hence it is extremely hard to
produce truly random numbers on a computer -- as opposed to pseudo-random
numbers, which can easily generated by using an algorithm.

--

In the above last sentence:

"...which can easily BE generated..."

There is a missing "BE".

Sincerely,
R Carey.
