Yes, and that's what OOTP currently simulates -- random pitchers getting lucky and getting no-hitters. No one is denying that happens in OOTP or real life
But there is a certain class of dominant pitchers, rare company admittedly, that are for whatever reason not reflected at all in the OOTP sim.
And it's not like the baseline luck of no-hitters modeled (properly, imo) in OOTP will instead anoint some other pitcher to get a long string of dominant games - instead of Ryan/Koufax throwing the multiple no-hitters its Johnson/Clemens/Seaver/Carlton or someone else.
