purpose jest jeden (generowanie liczb losowych), więc general purpose nie będzie pasować

It seems it is a reference to the pitfalls of commonly used PRNG algorithms.
See this sentence:
The best of [the multiply with carry generators] seem to pass all the
Diehard tests (See section 3.3), even tests that many common pseudorandom number generators fail.
http://www.complicity.co.uk/blog/geek-stuff/pseudo-random-nu...
In practice, the output from many common PRNGs exhibit artifacts which cause them to fail statistical pattern-detection tests.

The Mersenne Twister is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG). It is, by far, the most widely used PRNG.....The most commonly-used version of the Mersenne Twister algorithm is based on the Mersenne prime.
