I don't know how you would justify this claim since we don't know nearly enough about how the brain actually does things like make inferences.

But we know enough about fundamental physics to know that all physical processes are statistical ones.

We know no such thing. Some interpretations of QM make this claim, but there is no consensus on whether those interpretations are correct.
