The myriad valleys could have arisen anywhere on the landscape. The current positions are quite accidental. If we could repeat the experiment, we might obtain no valleys at all, or a completely different system.

How easy it is to be misled and to assume that no other landscape could possibly have arisen.

Stephen Jay Gould
