I figured a chapter and a half of unbroken Scripture might not qualify as random, but you never know.

Any accusation is possible in some people’s bid to discredit Scripture.

No one desires to discredit anything. After all, it was OUR bishops and clergy that established the canon of scripture in the first place. PROTESTANTS love to take OUR Bible, and spout their interpretation of it, yet won’t accept anything else, all in the name of POPERY PHOBIA!!! St. John Chrysostom did the first interpretation of the scriptures. The Orthodox Study Bible by Thomas Nelson. (NKJV) has that interpretation. Try checking it out sometime. You might learn something new!

When the Scripture chosen does not apply to the subject at hand, it qualifies as a random choice.

If the discussion at hand is one on the conduct of a congregation during worship, and I post Genesis 6 through 9 in its entirety as a response, that is the equivalent. Or I could have posted entire chapters from Numbers. Would that be relevant to the discussion? You accuse me of misunderstanding Scripture while you do.

I rather think that the opposite is true, as demonstrated.
