Why not?

For example, if a computer generated the digits of pi randomly, it
would not be pi.

Pi is a calculus, a function, not a number. If the digits of pi are
created randomly then there is no possibility of showing that these
digits are of pi. Pi must be calculated, not 'thrown'.

That's not the question I asked.
