Actually that would be true if we were talking about sequential trials, single reactions one after the other, however the amount of time needed drops dramatically when many reactions are occuring simultaneously...
For example if you roll a die you have a 1 in 6 chance of getting a 6, if you roll 2 dice you have an 11/36 chance of at least 1 showing a 6, if you roll 3 dice the odds rise to 91/216.....
by the time you get up to millions of simultaneous reactions no matter how improbable the outcome is in a single trial the probability of the result cropping up at least once rises dramatically....
