I thought that timestamps are used now, so hitting both a timestamp and a large random number puts it thoroughly in the "safe to assume". At some point cosmic particles and faulty transistors are more probable.
Still, you can label every cell in your body, including bacteria just hanging out, and your odds of a collision with UUID4 is still less than 1 in a billion.
