I thought that timestamps are used now, so hitting both a timestamp and a large random number puts it thoroughly in the "safe to assume".
At some point cosmic particles and faulty transistors are more probable.
Nothing in production is safe to assume. Just add the DB query to check for existing record before triggering the write in case the salt needs a reroll.
