Entropy says it's special. If you have a million dots and 10,000 coordinates, you have 10,000 ways for all the dots to land in the same coordinate, and a zillion kavillion stupillion ways to have somewhere near 100 dots in each coordinate.

No, if its randomly distributed then every specific configuration has the same exact chance of happening.

I am laughing at all the people coming out of the woodwork to reply to my original post in this thread misunderstanding randomness and chance.

If you flip a coin a million times and it lands on head every single time, the millionth and 1 time still has a 50/50 chance of landing on heads
