That's a matter for each table to decide, honestly. I don't think we gain anything by being super-prescriptivist about it.
I have suggested in the past, however, that if you really care about randomness, mix up the cards under the table, have the other person choose a number from 1 to (number of cards in your hand), and then count from the top of the pile. That eliminates the possibility of peeking, unless you're using a glass table.
