As the physicists have noted for nearly a century, you take any radioactive isotope, and it is impossible to say with certainty that a particular atom of it will undergo the fission process, but collectively, you can predict with a great deal of accuracy that a certain number of them will.

That might be a valid analogy if you were actually making empirically verifiable predictions.

That drug availability will increase drug usage and addiction is a fairly well proven and self evident prediction.
