New antibody neutralizes all known SARS-CoV-2 variants in lab tests

Is this a statistical reality? As in it would take a 1/1,000,000 chance to evolve out of this local maxima?

Or is it a logical reality? i.e. we know the possible permutations of the RNA and from its current state it could not reach an escape branch?

Edit: FYI, my biology is weak but it has occured to me that there must be a topology of evolution.

This is what I was getting at - almost nothing in my scientific field is 100% and I find that true of most things. Thus my question- how sure are we. If we are at six sigma levels great, but I find that at odds with the little I do know.
