Probability is about the fact that you don't know everything about the balls themselves. If you could make 100% predictions then your knowledge of the balls would be equivalent to the balls' description.

Why do you even use "describe the balls themselves" to describe this situation? From the perspective of probability you just set an upper bound to how much knowledge you could possibly have about an object, it's still knowledge.
