Nah, just throw all the unknowns into a the error term at the end of the equation and call it a day. All models are wrong, but some are close enough.

Not always! There's a miniscule chance that you'll get the same results twice or thrice in a row.

If you are improving consistency by doing the same thing over and over then you are practicing.
In that case the difference is in chance to succeed, not really a different intended outcome which is what the saying is trying to get at.
