Yeah, I tend to agree. The default position is "no such thing" and the burden 
is on those making a positive claim. I feel that way about actual infinity, 
moral intuitionism, natural law, etc. as well. Appeals to common sense and 
pragmatism are the most suspect, but often the most useful.

It could also be chaotic, or, like a conjugate gradient optimization working in 
high dimensionality and finite precision, apt to stumble across new subspaces 
by accident, even though it is just being greedy.   The apparent randomness 
just comes from evaluating a function against large input vectors that have 
both known and (mostly) unknown values.   How one could possibly tease out 
subtle symmetry breaking roles in such a cacophony is unclear to me.   That 
cacophony could give the appearance of freedom, which makes me suspicious.
