but random is not only defined over an equal outcome of 1's and 0's. You need
also to take into account all sequences like 00, 01 and so on (sequences of
three bit ...).
So if there exist more long-short outcomes, then you will, because of the
determined changing of the rule, get more sequences of 01 or 10 than 00 or
11. But for each of the four sequences should be the probability 1/4.
