Correction. If I generate a completely random number, and use it in my pad, and then generate another random number, and the 2 randoms happen to be the same, they are still perfectly valid pads; as long as the numbers were truly random. Don't get me wrong -- its still stupid to use the same one twice, and it defies the point, but it is not "not an OTP by definition".
