This is not a complaint at all
It's great for coming up with material to layer in with other stuff. Say you want a sci-fi explosion. You can load in some synthy components mixed with some explosions into a sample map. Start hitting the randomize button and you'll get plenty of cool "happy accidents" that you might not have ever come up with on your own. Alot of it won't be useful but sometimes the results can be really inspiring.
This is a nice tutorial on it and shows how it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTa6ODTNGdQ
