Why do people think staying in a rift gives more goblins/legendaries than making a new one after the guardian is dead?

So often, I run into people thinking that the coding for the RNG somehow has changed after the rift boss is dead and that staying in the same rift will somehow give them better RNG. Who is spreading that false rumor and why?

RNG is just what it indicates random.

I even had a guy say he got a better chance of getting primals if he stayed because it was calculated from th amount of legendaries you looted in the rift. This is madness since the item is already rolled when it drops....

Please stop the madness and realise that the RNG is based on a number blizzard put into the code. it doesn't magically change all of a sudden. It is the same RNG based system they have used in diablo since the first game and the same calculations that are used in any random scenario.

EDIT: There seems to be confusion here. I am not trying to discuss whether there can be reasons to contiinue in a rift, I am trying to kill the rumor that rng gets better which it does not!
