I suppose "trivial" is a pretty subjective word but the
difference between the following seem pretty non-trivial to me, at
least in my purely subjective opinion:
1) Things are inherently random, Brent Meeker might see the electron
go right or go left but it will only do one thing it's just that there
is no way for Brent Meeker to predict which.
2) Things are inherently deterministic, the electron will go both left
and right and Brent Meeker will see both.
That anything = "one of two possible paths" makes it trivial that
"anything can happen". It rules out infinitely many things that one
might otherwise consider included in anything.

The words "Brent Meeker" being defined as being the man who remembers
being Brent Meeker yesterday.
