There are two things should be random in SSS.  The coefficients of the polynomial.  And the x-values where the polynomial is evaluated.

This is false. Where did this idea come from?

Non-random x values is probably relatively benign, since all information about the polynomial is in the f(x) values.  Wikipedia does not even mention that the x values should be random.

What does "probably relatively benign" mean in cryptographic terms?

Pseudo-random coefficients is certainly a bad idea.

Why is this?
