One of the usual main objections against attempts in finding a physical cause for the planet distance distribution is based on the assumption that similar distance distribution could be obtained by sequences of random numbers. This assumption was stated by Lecar in a short article of 1973 that is still referred to nowadays. We show here how this assumption is incorrect.
