What exactly does this even accomplish? If a company stores a billion hands for a year for who knows what reason. I assume only the preflop hands, since no way the site can know exactly how they will play out - people fold AA hands when they go to the bathroom.
I assume a computer can churn out millions or billions of pre-flop potential hands quickly, and therefore that data can also be stored. So what?
What do you think the crime would be associated with doing this?

Prove a major site has a rigged RnG and I will toss you $5,000.
Still not quite sure what a site generating sample hands has to do with anything, but to fuel your theory further - wouldn't sites do test hands to make sure their software works properly. Therefore that PROVES they can deal test hands. Very spooky...
OK, now what?

It's one thing to state that in one's opinion pokersites aren't rigging the deal because they haven't been caught yet or exposed in HHs, it's another thing entirely to offer up HHs would prove it as a fact, with no proof, which has been done repeatedly ITT.
Have you seen my list of riggies? Do you believe them? One says Pokerstars rigs it to help new players. Another now says Pokerstars rigs it to screw new players. Are they both right in their observations?
You seem to think it is odd that conspiracies and thought experiments are not all accepted at face value, but imagine a world where all of them were accepted and heavily researched. Not a fun place.
The burden of proof is on the people with the theories for a reason, because I dare you to prove a site is not rigged for new players and also not rigged against new players at the same time.
You keep asking for proof that something has not happened. Either it has or it has not, and given this industry has existed for many years, with thousands of rooms (many now closed) without a single rigged RnG issue (aside from Planet Poker which was never exploited), and add to it that not a single rigged RnG has been determined by extensive hand history analysis, and not a single rigged RnG has been exposed by an insider - for now I will say the burden of proof is on those claiming it is rigged.
If you think Bodog is rigged then prove it, or do not play there. If you have concerns about superusers due to the anon nature of the players there then do not play there.
I type all of this fully expecting you will not be willing to specifically and directly discuss the points I am making. Riggies hate specifics and common sense based reasoning. Good luck with your thought experiment research. Feel free to search the thread to contact the others who also were planning to do similar research over the years. None has ever provided an update for some reason.
All the best.
