I only thanked him because it's somewhat of a pet peeve of mine when people refer to pRNGs as RNGs. I don't really blame people for not knowing the difference, it just kind of pains me every time I see someone inappropriately use the term.
That's pretty nitpicky. For all intents and purposes, it IS random. You're not going to get true randomness with videogames, so calling it RNG instead of pRNG really shouldn't be a big deal.

...Also most people just don't give a crap about the difference, even if they do know it.
