Okay thanks for saving my sanity somewhat.

And also just to nitpick/joke:

> More accurately, it is neural networks which are more "stochastic" with their predictions and decisions <...>

I would defend NNs to not even be necessarily stochastic. I had to handwrite weights for NNs in atleast two exams, to fit XOR for example ;)

that may be the exception that proves the rule here though. Outside of the tiniest toy example is this ever true?
