<'contrivance' = 'random' + 'selection'.>

No, that must be the TP defintion. -ggg-

He/She must have used the wrong word then:

Contrive:

1 a : DEVISE, PLAN <contrive ways of handling the situation> b : to form or create in an artistic or ingenious manner <contrived household utensils from stone>
2 : to bring about by stratagem or with difficulty : MANAGE
intransitive senses : to make schemes
