Not using random distribution in demonstration plot
Different implementations of AWK may use different random number
generators, so even setting the seed will not ensure a reproducible
result. Because of this, the random plot may be different when the
pipeline runs on different systems and this can confuse early users
(its contrary to the exact reproducibility that is the whole purpose
of this pipeline).
The plot is just a simple X^2 plot, showing the squared value of the X
axis on the Y axis. It is very simple, but atleast it will be
identical on all systems. Also, there may be too many complicated
things in the pipeline already for an early user, and its just a
demonstration, so the easier/simpler, the better.
