Further investigation shows that the ''data type used for computation'' plays a crucial role.
The (recommended) 64bit mersenne twister uses the full value range of the working data type,
which on a typical 64bit system is also `uint64_t`. In this case, values corrupted by concurrency
go unnoticed. This can be **verified empirically** : the distribution
of shifts from the theoretical mean value is in the expected low range < 2‰
However, when using the 32bit mersenne engine, the working data type is still uint64_t.
In this case a **significant number of glitches** can be shown empricially.
When drawing 1 Million values, in 80% of all runs at least one glitch and up to 5 glitches
can happen, and the mean values are **significantly skewed**
''In theory,'' the random number generators are in no way threadsafe,
neither the old `rand()`, nor the mersenne twister of the C++ standard.
However, since all we want is some arbitrarily diffused numbers,
chances are that this issue can be safely ignored; because a random
number computation broken by concurrency will most likely generate --
well, a garbled number or "randomly" corrupted internal state.
Validating this reasoning by an empiric investigation seems advisable though.
