This means that it passes all the statistical tests of randomness that we can find.I think this is what you have to do to prove that your way of generating random numbers has any value at all: find many existing statistical tests of randomness and run them against your random number generator. Then provide numerical evidence that the generator generates random numbers.
That's not enough: you need to compare your random number generator with existing RNGs and provide numerical evidence that it is better in some sense. Otherwise all of this is just idle talk.
