Nature is telling you an infinite number of things, the process of selecting what to measure and what to exclude in the measurement is a choice.

In terms of frequentism, how you define what the population distribution you are sampling from is exactly, is a choice.

You are limiting the discussion to what happens after you've chosen how and what the population distribution consists of.. that part is itself a nontrivial and subjective process.
