My hot take of the day is that we're pretty good at evaluating PhD applicants (at least better than random), but the number of qualified applicants greatly exceeds the number of available slots. So there exists pairs of students (X, Y) where X is admitted and Y isn't admitted, but the difference between their applications is trivial. Externally, this is (reasonably) seen as a trivial distinction in inputs leading to a non-trivial distinction in outputs.
