And so within any O-region, it appears "God does not play dice" because all we see is one throw.

But in QM, even when we see over 10**23 throws, things still behave as if at random. There would be experimental consequences were such not the case.

Plus, when throwing dice or tossing a coin, there is the memoryless property.
