Your objection is valid, yet it lacks some quantitative criterium.
Of course, it is true that given enough noise, anything can be
confused with anything else.   The interest of studying entropy is
precisely to quantify the amount of noise under which error can be
avoided.

That is to say, this noise volume is much less in the case of a whole
confusible paradigme (as so'V is) than in any natlang case you would
give, or artifically create, for a paradigm is something that shares
both naturalness and commonness.
