I am not sure that it is a good idea to make a test based on a random
behavior that should tend to a normalized value. This is costly in
cycles, requiring a lot of work just for generate_series(). You could
do the same kind of thing as random() a few lines above?

That should be fine in terms of impossible chances :)

This could have a test, same for 0.

Postgres' float.h includes one version of that.
