This is just meaningless twaddle. Read the chapter on "Chance" in Poincare's "Science and Method" linked to here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=497433

Randomness/Chance itself is amenable to laws by which we can estimate its bounds. In one sense everything is chance since the deterministic laws themselves operate within approximation bounds. When the approximation bound in the effect is similar in magnitude to that in the cause and both are very small, we call it "deterministic" whereas when the approximation bound in the effect is much larger than that in the cause for no discernible reason we say "chance" is operating.
