Default Re: Why is Randomness so Hard to Prove?

Randomness is impossible to prove because it's impossible to rule out the possibility that there's an underlying pattern which we just haven't discovered yet.

(Likewise, non-randomness is also impossible to prove. Whatever pattern we observe, it's impossible to rule out the possibility that it was just a coincidence.)
