Gotcha gotcha. In other words: us being monkeys generating random output is an unfalsifiable hypothesis, so saying "it's true" is unscientific. Yes, it could be true if free will didn't exist, but since that's not something that can be proven we shouldn't use it as the basis for how we view reality. Something like that?

I mean, yea that works if you want to continue to carry it in that direction, but my point is... The expression is not commenting on humans what so ever. It's commenting on the the law of averages vs the law of large numbers. The probability is not zero, so eventually, even seemingly impossible things WILL occur, and that it's NOT some mystic sign if something rare does happen.
