Sep 28, 2017 at 17:10 comment added Luis Casillas Note it's not "any polynomial-time algorithm" as you paraphrase it, it's the larger set of probabilistic polynomial-time algorithms—programs that run on a machine that, in addition to the usual Turing-complete machinery, also has an operation to generate random bits (the "random coins" of the definition) and read them into program memory so they can influence the execution and result of the programs.
