… and by the time you analyzed all the potential data, you'd find that it is impossible for the human hand to flip a fair coin accurately enough consistently to make it disobey probability (ie 50% heads over an infinite number of flips).
You can make a machine do it, but the margin needed for a particular result would be so small as to be less than errors in measurements, thus it would likely still appear random. (If anyone wishes to construct a machine to test this hypothesis, I'll chip in a few bucks for science.)
