The problem is in the arrangement.  On the one hand, the description
declares that they are independent...and then asserts, a priori,
outcomes that suggest they are dependent.

Yes.

...it would no longer be the Merman device.  Again: the Merman device
asserts a certain set of outcomes as part of its description.  True
randomness would allow, e.g. 1/2 or 1/5 or other such values to
sometimes be measured, which is explicitly ruled out.
