Comment (by mloskot):

 FWIW, `ST_PointOnSurface` returns **an arbitrary point**. The only
 guarantee is that such point is located inside interior of a geometry.
 Subsequent calls of `ST_PointOnSurface` for the same geometry might
 possibly return different points (all inside the interior, of course).
