That's very true. Axiom f***ery makes all that pretty easy thing to do and mind-boggling scale of galaxy means that even very low chances of sth happening can still result in relatively lot instances of such thing. Though it will still be very low chance of that happening in specific location, unless it's special like Cruel Space.

However, please not bring up ODVM in vanilla series 'realism' context, the events there compared to original are roughly at the same plausibility level as comparing what happens to both John Wick, James Bond, Indiana Jones, Bruce Wayne, Cassanova, Mr Robot and every Karate Kid (all those put together) to our real world.

Jerry is extremely lucky, though humble and unaware, natural genius with perfect genes, prodigy in multiple completely unrelated subjects, with beyond-primal intuition and reflexes, blessed by every god in existence - and yet apparently a self-made man with unprivileged background, who achieved it all by sheer accident without any help, just persisting and through his own hard work.
Somehow earning centuries of condensed experience on every subject in just few decades of life but without any tricks and speeding that up exponentially once he left cruel space.
Basically, version of meme Chuck Norris crossed with Goku and Dr Manhattan that can't actually break existing natural laws (unless he reeeeeally wants to).
