I was there for that panel. The context was even better.
That's the director/producer for Final Fantasy XIV, being asked why a boss targets people for a mechanic in 100% reproducible but 0% predictable patterns. If you bring the same people on the same classes, they'll be picked in the same order every single time, but by no clear logic, so people wanted to know what the selection process was.
The answer was "because of an rng seeding bug that we can't track down, but it doesn't really change the fight enough to be a priority".
