It's fundamentally _impossible_ to precisely predict speed and position of a given electron. It's fundamentelly impossible to predict when and in which direction an alpha particle will be emitted from a collapsing atom nucleus.
You mean "fundamentally impossible for us to predict using current technologies".
There's no problem saying "truly random => unpredictable", but the problem with saying "unpredictable => truly random" is that you can never be sure that your frame of reference for defining predicatbility is universal.
We can't precisely predict the speed and position of a given electron, but that doesn't mean it's truly random. It could still be deterministical chaotic, and predictable by some technology and/or physics model that we don't know.
I'm not saying that true randomness doesn't exist, I'm just saying that, if it exists, it's existance is impossible to prove.
