Kant said," ......we can know more of any object than belongs to the possible experience of it or lay claim to the least knowledge of how anything not assumed to be an object of possible experience is determined according to the constitution that it has in itself. For how could we determine anything in this way, simce time, space, and all the concepts formed by empirical intuition in the sensible would have an d could have no other use than to make experience possibly?"
(page 85)
Kant is saying that if something that happened once doesn't mean it's going to happen again the same way because the second time all factor will change that can effect the event.

I agree with Kant's argument because the fact that there are many thing that can influence an event so the outcome of the same situation twice will not have the same outcome!
but what if u keep the same environment of the experiment or the test the same then the outcome would be the same. or even in an uncontrolled environment the chances of dropping a ball and it bouncing back again and again is probable.
i agree with Kant, even if u repeat the experiment twice, something will go wrong, and walter the probably is a chance but a very slight chance!
