One might be inclined to say this if one doesn't understand the difference between physical nature and our consciousness of physical nature. Mathematics does not exist outside of human minds. It is a method for measuring and describing the world around us that happens to lend itself to the study of its own conceptual structure. Nothing in nature follows mathematical laws. Protons don't consult logarithm tables before they move through space. Particles don't consult statistics textbooks before they "decide" if it's time to decay. They act according to their nature, and that's all.
