Humans, even bad musicians, don't play randomly "wrong", so it is
indeed not exactly humanizing to just add some random deviations. How
to really humanize is an ongoing debate. One interesting concept in
this regard is described in the work of Jeff Blimes and in his concept
of the "Tatum". A short introduction is this paper:
http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/people/bilmes/mypapers/icmc93_paper.pdf

Blimes also did listening tests with various approaches on humanizing
including random, Gaussian variations. These were rejected by most
listeners as "sloppy" and "random" and this approach according to his
paper is the worst one to "humanize".
