Suppose for the discussion that Fritz does only one mistake in 1000 moves. Suppose also that the average position that it blunders has less than 100 moves. It means that in 100000 positions Fritz can be wrong 100 times and choosing random moves is enough to be right more than one time in the 100 positions that Fritz is wrong so you can be better than Fritz in more than 1/100,000 cases by only choosing random moves.
