Think about it: the only reason we are amazed by great coincidences (that seem to defy randomness) is because, most of the time, we do not experience it.

In other words, the only reason we feel its amazing/great, is because it does not happen all the time. If something happened all the time, then it would be just ordinary.

In sum: its no coincidence that there are coincidences.

Or, its not surprising that we sometimes get surprised.

I don't know if you get my drift...
