If you’re legitimately comparing the probability of sexual non-dimorphism in the population to the chance of a thrown baseball passing through a wall, then there’s not much likelihood the of an objective discussion here.

For the record, various studies conclude the ratio of individuals that are neither 46,XX nor 46,XY as being anywhere between 0.02% to 1.3% of the population. Or roughly 10^30 more likely than throwing a baseball through a solid wall (based on your stated likelihood).

I specifically mentioned the purpose of the thought experiment as a matter of framing a perspective, rather than setting it as some kind of rough equivalency. This is reinforced by the endorsed video.

You've intentionally missed the point, which is disingenuous. Good luck with whatever.
