So, which is it?

(I'm imagining a warehouse they're trying to empty.)

I mean, randomly selected, by hand?

Weak sauce, that! Hand-picked suggests careful curation. Random suggests the use of darts (using my skill-level as a benchmark).

I'll assume that the "hand-picked" part is on a par with "good news for all readers".

I'm going to take pedantry up a notch here.  "Hand picked" means that humans were involved.  This states "by droids", negating that completely.  :o

Droids can have hands! See Droid Life.

Maybe they're hand-picked in the way that strawberries and brambles are, to make sure they're not all squelchy or crawling with maggots.
