Well, you haven't convinced my of anything.

 

Firstly an asteroid impact is a chance event and not a problem of celestial mechanics. And then a guessing job about what number you might write down. Or even calculating 4 divided by 4. Tossing a coin. So there you have it, complex celestial mechanics (three body problem and all that) to tossing a coin, think that covers just about everything. Clearly, every event is a chance event.

That's reassuring for not only for me, but doubtless the whole world. I pride myself in being a fully paid up member of the totally ignorant. I keep well clear of the Peter Perfect and Nellie Know All society.
