confirm this rmd160 checksum after the song is cdparanoia'd?

# rmd160 track02.cdda.wav
RMD160 (track02.cdda.wav) = 1053805b53962e22028768516285da1cba5e4454

CD-tracks don't work that way. Rip it again and you'll probably
find another checksum.

Forgive my ignorance but how could CD-tracks not work that way? As far as I understand it, the only difference between a data track and an audio track is that a data track divides a sector into a data portion and a checksum portion whereas an audio track uses the entire sector for data. Unless the quality of the CD has deterioated, where does the random element come from?
