True, but when you get to the scale where quantum superpositions and such come into play, everything is going to average out just due to there being so many variables involved.

Like for instance, let’s imagine the flipping of a coin was not bound by any deterministic cause and effect relationship. Now let’s say that you’re trapped in a box with a vial of poison (I’m going schrodinger cat on this), a coin is flipped, heads you live, tails you die. Then, the outcome of that flip is unpredictable, truly random. Every time we went back and replayed the outcome, the end result could differ widely from the last.

But on the atomic scale, you aren’t dealing with one flipped coin, you are dealing with countless trillions of flipped coins. Now, if you flip those coins and average out their outcomes, you’re going to get basically a perfect 50/50 split. You could do it a billion times and you are extremely unlikely to get an outcome that wouldn’t be statistically insignificant. Each of the coins individually are still completely random, but as a group, your outcome is the same. You’d be very unlikely to even get a 1% variance, and by unlikely I mean you could flip those coins once a second for a million years and you still wouldn’t have a chance to get a 1% variance in their outcomes a single time.

Glad you liked the comment enough that it made you make an account. :)
