Steps to reproduce
Connect 2 pistons together with redstone wire with both pistons connected to redstone wire that doesn't go up
Connect the same pistons together with a separate wire that goes up for one piston
Power the pistons with both wires in a spot that creates randomness and observe how the redstone wire that goes up isn't random
Observed
When the deterministic redstone wire experiment is enabled redstone wire is biased to going up blocks.
Expected
When the deterministic redstone wire experiment is enabled redstone wire is unbiased to going up blocks

This is not the case, redstone does not prefer going upwards and is working as intended. What is happening is that the redstone line going upwards is shorter because the redstone dust is powering the solid block due to 1.16 dust behavior. Replacing the dust not on a block with a target block makes the setup RNG as expected.
Is there another setup where the wire is biased towards going upwards?

Another reasonable solution would be to make the upwards wire be unfavorable actually as the wire is visibly longer than the wire only on the ground
