I doesn't matter.

And being in a semiconductor it is a quantum process (in fact most sources of noise in circuits are quantum in origin - not that it matters)

That's untrue, just because it's a semiconductor, doesn't mean it can't generate data effected by non-quantum properties such as temperature.

"it can't generate data effected by non-quantum properties such as temperature"

And do you think quantum effects are not affected by temperature? REALLY?!
