The other thing that you can't say either is that it's not deterministic, because without determinism the hash function is not useful.

Yeah yeah, in this we agree. I was just lazy.

One should say:

X is a random variable representing the choice of a message at random (under probability distribution PX).

Then h(X) is a random variable, that induce a different probably distribution bla bla.

it's super magical stuff anyway. non-crypto people don't get it.
