Yup, that statement is also true. However, I hope you are not implying that those rare exceptions occurred as a direct result of the merits/feedback of a particular LRL. Tossing lawn darts, random digging and pointing a finger in a certain location will also yield rare exceptions where a plausible "good" target might be found. Yet all of these locating mechanisms (LRLs included) work according to the same principles - random guessing, or Chance.
