I refuse to accept that a random number once used as input in SHA256 gives non-cryptographically-secure result, not because I put myself above experts, but because experts say it. Take an ECDSA signature. In most Bitcoin wallets, value k is no longer generated using an RNG. Instead, it's a hash of the private key and the message.
if sha256 got broken, they could figure out your private key i guess. but if you used a k generated randomly that risk wouldn't exist.
