Not true:

From the 2002 article:

100 Randoms in (1, 10): 3, 10, 2, 9, 7, 2, 3, 10, 9, 4, 4, 3, 1, 5, 4,
10, 3, 6, 7, 1, 1, 10, 8, 3, 9, 3, 4, 1, 1, 5, 8, 6, 2, 5, 10, 1, 3,
8, 8, 10, 5, 1, 9, 10, 3, 10, 3, 2, 2, 8, 3, 8, 3, 8, 5, 2, 7, 6, 7,
2, 8, 1, 9, 8, 2, 4, 5, 2, 10, 8, 9, 9, 3, 10, 9, 6, 5, 8, 7, 3, 3, 3,
5, 3, 5, 9, 9, 10, 5, 2, 5, 1, 5, 1, 6, 8, 3, 6, 4, 1,

Also, there is absolutely no obstacle in using as many random
generators (sequences) as needed -- one just needs a different seed
for each of them.

Please, read the article carefully.
