Totally incorrect.

The currently accepted definition of randomness is Martin-Loef
randomness, which is a further elaboration of the Kolmogorov
idea of incompressibility.

A Martin-Loef random sequence is not-computable by any algorithmic
means.  Thus, Martin-Loef randomness is not attainable in practice.

In practice, it is sufficient for a sequence to "act randomly,"
and that means that the sequence is able to pass statistical
tests.
