I don't think the why is that confusing. If you do a physical simulation, so many calculations cancel each other out or work in opposite directions. If there is a pattern to it (and it appears there is for many situations), you just short cut it. Consider Roger Federer's ability to predict where a tennis ball will land and how to send electrical signals to his body to move in a way that will return that ball with high precision. It's pretty wild the number of short cuts he can make for what is a very complex calculation.

On second thought, I missed your point, I think. In my example we could reason through why the tennis ball ended where it did. In yours, we couldn't. My bad.

I agree with your point of calculations cancelling out. That's why I am not a fan of Butterfly effect. Just as Lewis coined unbirthday, we should coin Unbutterfly effect cancelling each other out.
