I feel the same holds for the 2nd thermodynamic law. It's mathematically imposed that the most probable event will happen eventually, so a tautology. It's not that some gas or molecules cannot be reverted to a previous situation.

Yes that’s fair to say. The tradeoff is mathematically inevitable. Physics just dictates the constants.

It’s also the kind of thinking that can throw a wet blanket on the “beauty” of e.g. Eulers identity (not being critical, I genuinely appreciate the replies I got)
