Assuming that everyone agrees that a random sample should always lazily evaluate 
to the same values, a different fix will be needed; probably that if no RNG is 
specified, RandomSample should contain a generator set to Random(unpredictableSeed).

On the other hand, if RNGs are to be passed to randomSample by reference, it 
might make more sense to always have the sample evaluate differently.
