Random is perhaps the wrong word
'random' is indeed the wrong word just about every time it is used. Often it can be simpy omitted - as in, for example, "Here is a random game I played recently".
I think the OP would have been better to have talked about "tactical" openings - ie, those in which (short-term) tactics over-ride (long-term) principles.
Just a random comment from me.
Well said
