The answer is no more approachable than is the similar question for Tarot in general. People who tend to distrust computers and technology seem to think that only a human-spirit link can power the Tarot (reading) mechanism. On the other hand, some computer programmers, especially ones who pain themselves about the creation of some perfect randomizing agent (algorithm), also refuse to believe that a computer-generated reading could be as natural as that conducted by a human. This latter concern raises an interesting philosophical point, is the randomization of the cards what we are actually trying to achieve by shuffling?
