It means that the value you are measuring is not determined until you 
measure it. Hence, as far as we will ever be able to know without divine(*) 
intervention, yes, it's random. It is unpredictable until measured, which 
is, by definition, random.

I.e., we're getting into semantics here. Does something really exist that 
has absolutely no affect on anything anywhere in the universe? If there's 
nothing at all you can do that will influence whether you know the result in 
advance, is that not random?

(*) Where "divine" includes the person running the simulation.
