Wuhan is 3,200 square miles, and it didn't just happen anywhere in Wuhan. The initial outbreak site was within walking distance of a laboratory that was studying that specific type of virus.
Of all the different heavily-populated places the disease could have started, it happened right next to a lab studying coronaviruses. That's no "1-in-12" chance and even "1-in-1000" seems kinda low.
The "lab-leak theory" is just as reasonable as the "we don't know where it came from but it wasn't the nearby lab theory".
