Life, the origin of life, is more likely to start if it had a 99% chance of starting; than if it had a 1% of starting. So most likely the OOL was 99% likely, not 1%
(or 90%, not 10%, or 70% not 30%, etc.)

For me the turning point to the study of the OOL, is that life is not a fluke, but the most stable chemical reaction to the environment

Though this proves nothing, it may adjust the mindset in OOL investigation, that seems stuck in a rut.
