My personal astrological projection is that none of the astrologers who criticised the original study, designed the new survey, or participated in the experiment will accept the validity of its results.

tl;dr No, it doesn't work - statistically it's identical to random guessing.

Is it equal to random guessing (which isn't fully random) or closer to true randomness? If the latter, can we use it as a PRNG? "Now powered by Astrology" branding, for markets where it would increase sales.

Can we use spiritual randomness to power our AI products, to maximise marketing crap?
