For the pick-up sticks example, the answer I was looking for is that all
trillion piles will be identical in macroscopic configuration. Quantum
fluctuations will have no effect as the sticks fall because the sticks
are simply much too large and have too much mass.

A stick exactly balanced on its point might well eventually fall in
different directions in each of those trillion piles, and anything,
however large, which is in a position of unstable equilibrium can be
effected by quantum fluctuations.
