   Because, when you consider all the particles in the room, there are exponentially vastly more states they can occupy if the temperature is really 22° C—which makes any particular state all the more improbable.” But no matter which exact 22° C state your room occupies, you can make the same prediction (for the supervast majority of these states) that your thermometer will end up showing 22° C, and so you are not sensitive to the exact initial conditions. You do not need to specify an exact position of all the air molecules in the room, so that is not counted against the probability of your explanation.
