Which bit is retained in the Von Neumann debiasing algorithm? 00 and 11 are discarded and 10, 01 are retained but is the first or the second bit retained or does it matter?
In other words:
first: 10 -> 1 , 01 -> 0
second: 10 -> 0 , 01 -> 1

Furthermore, using the second bit instead of the first (or vice versa) just has the effect of inverting the output. And a uniformly random bitstream is still uniform even if inverted.
