True. But by virtue of Occam's Razor, we should prefer the random explanation, which doesn't require any deterministic rules.
If I walk into my kitchen and see a broken egg on the floor, it could have been left by a wayward chicken. But the simpler explanation is that my spouse broke an egg from the refrigerator. If I prove that my spouse was home and up before me this morning, I don't really need to disprove the chicken theory to reasonably believe the simpler explanation.
