We have no idea what the shooter was aiming for other than (almost certainly) Charlie Kirk, and the "perfect k*** shot" may have been incidental. It's like comparing the odds of SOMEONE winning the lottery, vs a PARTICULAR someone winning the lottery. They are very different odds, and I'm surprised that someone who seems scientifically competent would be this mathematically not so. Apparently also the shot distance has been reduced to 142 yards. I would bet that striking the upper part of the human body on somebody seated and not really moving around is something probably 10's of 1000's of Americans could do at least 9 out of 10 times.
