If supertasks are metaphysically impossible, the premise that uncountably many trials can be completed collapses, and the probability-1 guarantee never applies to any realizable agent.

Uncountably many(as used in mathematics and logic)
An infinite number of things so large that you couldn't list them all even with infinite time; larger than regular infinity (like comparing all real numbers to just whole numbers).
supertasks(as what the laws permit or don't permit)
Infinite sequences of actions or events that somehow happen in a finite amount of time (like completing infinitely many steps before a deadline).
