I think you're going the wrong direction with that argument.

Random variability is the opposite of "exact".

Even identical twins don't look "exactly" alike.

If I put 200 sets of twins in a room and told you I'd pay you $1,000,000 to find two that were "exactly" alike, do you think I'd pay you based on "Well, no two are the same so they're all exactly alike in being different."?
