testers that don't flip properly

Clearly the coin flips at the beginning of sports fixtures need to be assessed by a panel of highly skilled judges who can pronounce on their validity. We'll also need local, regional, national, and international organizations to train, select, and maintain the quality of coin flipping judges and to maintain the integrity of the discipline while moving forward as new coins are minted and different sorts of flipping styles are proposed by. Membership of such organizations should be limited to those afilliated with the Ancient Order of Coin Flippers.

I was more thinking we'll need a Department of Randomness (or Ministry of Randomness for Westminster countries)

Perhaps whether it's a Department or a Ministry could be decided randomly.

Randomly how? By a coin toss? Who will toss then? How many times? How skilled the participants should be? All these important questions must be decided by some authority. Sort of a Department of Equal Distribution. Or a Ministry of Fair Tosses. Wait a second...

The obvious solution is to hand it off to the Department of Catch 22. Or the Ministry of infinite recursion. Wait..
