In this example, random numbers provoked the worst case too often. However, in other situations random numbers are "too nice". For example, a random matrix with independent identically-distributed zero-mean entries is overwhelmingly likely to be well-conditioned, have no repeated eigenvalues, etc. Testing numerical algorithms on random data alone is a bad idea.
