	// This test rules out not only the possibility that the two sequences are the same but also
	// that they're just different permutations of the same values. The test is probabilistic so
	// it's technically possible for it to fail even if generator is good but the probability is
	// so low that it would happen on average once very 10^125 billion years if you repeated it
	// every second. The chance is much lower than 1 in 1000^100 / 100!.
	//
	// This does not really guarantee that the generated numbers have the right distribution or
	// or that they don't come in long, repeating sequences but the implementation is very simple
	// (it just calls a generator from boost) so our goal here is just to make sure it's used
	// properly and we're not getting something totally non-random, e.g. the same number every time.
