 Three Years Of Computing
In order for addition of a digits-reversed number to yield a palindrome, there must be no carries in the addition and hence each pair of digits must sum to 9 or less.
Every one becomes a palindrome in a relatively small number of steps (of the 900 3-digit numbers, 90 are palindromes to start with and 735 of the remainder take less than 5 reversals and additions to yield a palindrome).
From a probabilistic standpoint, as a number grows to enormous size the likelihood of producing a palindrome on the next step decreases since the odds of a digit pair summing to 10 or more approach certainty in very large numbers.

Ref #13 Asimov on Numbers p62 "The only thing we must remember is that in putting symbols that are not integers through arithmetical paces, we ought not to be surprised if they don't follow the ordinary rules of arithmetic which, after all, were originally worked out to apply specifically to integers." p.
In fact, it is the idea of irrational number that, once achieved, spearates the notion of number from that of magnitude, for the magnitude of such a number (pi for example) can never be defined or exactly represented by any straight line.

 Letter to the Editor
If we allow some 'breakaways' to suggest that the number 87 is no longer the precedent for randomness, our culture will be seriously deprived of a great part of its livelihood, being that the obvious choice for randomness is 87.
The number three, being the factor most at controversy, is itself more random than 14, because it readily yields numbers of any digits, whereas an even number will only lead to half of them.
That is, there is absolutely no reason to choose the number 87; it has no special properties, no social, economic, psychological, religious, international, or statistical significance, and yet, it appears in all circumstances in prices, statistics, dates, percentages, and many others.
