OT - Why does Photoshop do this?

I was messing about with 16 to 8 bit conversions in Photoshop yesterday and
noticed that I was getting errors in neutral pixels.

So I made an AppleScript to transform a 24x24 pixel RGB image 100 times to
see what the result would be like:

The results didn't look random enough to me to have been caused by rounding
errors, so I adapted the script to generate images with different RGB
neutral values and got this:

Which makes me think that Photoshop is purposely generating noise - even
though I've made a point of turning every dithering option off.

Is this a feature or a bug?
