My addendum on why random surfing usually hasn't worked out so well also has the following point: In the cases where you scale your random range to where you can reach, there's an additional problem, which is that to my knowledge almost all attempts at such have used a simple goto method or orbit to get to the next GF that was selected, which potentially gives away information about where they were trying to get for that wave earlier than it strictly had to. I suspect that if one adds some smart randomization the timing/velocity/heading during the path used to get to the chosen GF, the result will be drastically blurred as far as the usual statistical analysis is concerned.

How early the signal is given away varies depending on how far that GF is from where you ended up on the prior wave, but either way it adds clarity to statistics of where you'll be on future waves. The idea is to add uncertainty to that signal, instead of giving them absolute certainty about where you'll be in a few ticks.
