How useful is picking items randomly?

It is considered like having a virtual assistant or a small miracle that helps you make decisions quickly and without having to think too much. Instead of having to consider each option, you just 'blindly choose' and the result is still completely fair and objective.

Time is money, so you don't have to worry about comparing and analyzing the pros and cons of each item. Random selection helps you make an immediate decision. You can save a lot of time and effort.

You absolutely ignore bias. When everything has an equal chance of being chosen, you avoid favoring one choice based on personal feelings.
