  That's not even what I claimed.
  What I claimed was that eventually one of the streams will start giving
the same numbers as the other streams gave to start with. And also the
other way around.
  This means that if you use two streams to position objects, it may
happen that after a certain time one type of objects begins to appear
in the exact same places as the other type of objects started to
appear at the beginning.
