That's true enough. But here's where the difference between "science"
and philosophy creeps in... when it's science, it happens every time.

For example, the phenomenon of water flowing downhill is essentially a
random event, the illusion caused by trillions of odd-shaped molecules
bouncing around any way they want. But somehow, water *always* flows
downhill.


The correct statement is: In every instance that we have observed, water has
flowed downhill.
