So did anybody ever figure out how "Smart loot" works? (Destiny)

I have no hard data, but my anecdotal personal experience is that "smart loot" doesn't appear to work particularly well. In all my Crota normal mode runs (close to 30 at this point) I've received 1 black hammer, 1 sword breaker, 6 hunger of Crotas, 5 light of the abyss, and 8 song of ir yuts. Keep in mind that my 1 black hammer didn't drop until about 2 weeks ago.
I know a certain amount of randomness will always be present in Destiny's drops, but they do seem almost mockingly frustrating at times. Whatever differences are present behind the scenes, I find the randomness of the drops to be pretty much the same.
