Well "definitely correct" has no real place in probabilistic arguments almost by ipso factum absurdum :-)
The chirality argument made is more akin to dynamic systems balance; yes, you can balance a pencil on its point .. but given a bit of random tilt one way or the other it's going to tend to keep going and end near flat on the table.
