>As I can say "Build an operating system." is a single step
It is, but you have to increase the granularity of your steps to come up with reasonable milestones. I find it somewhat humorous that you compare building an operating system to a trivial twenty line homework program.
>My recent interaction with low level languages are responsible for this.
That's a bad thing. Even at the lowest level you still need to keep an abstract view of your design.

I'm here to prove you wrong.
A day ago csurfer's algorithm solved the problem. That's "pipelined" version:
In addition: it's impossible to add another level of randomness by random shuffles or other tricks while we are using the same (extremely bad 
) rand() generator.

Then my purpose was solved.

The program I was interacting with were very trivial ( prime number generator ). It was in a algorithm book. There, the author used a ASM, to demonstrate that what a high-level program assumes to be `a step' is actually a series of steps in machine code.
But you said it right, one should be able to `quantize' a step. It also varies from person to person and to which domain he is working.

She assumed a perfect random generator while making that remark, IMHO. And she was right too. More random calls will tend to dilate the variance. (of course, I am too, making this remark assuming a perfect random generator)

The plan stretched. Didn't bother to change the signature. (I know this is ignorance). Long story!!...

The variance of... what? We didn't estimate random sequence parameters in that case so the variance (or other moments) does not bear a relation to the sequence of 20 random numbers.
