"(H)ow can one be sure that one heraldic match, or two or three plant matches, are not just an inevitable consequence of chance?"
By the nature of the evidence that provides confirmation and by the number of independent confirmations.
A good place to look for heraldic comparisons is found with some of the tub patterns of the VMs Zodiac that show similarities to various standard patterns in armorial heraldry. This is particularly clear regarding the insignia that are based on patterns of alternating stripes, but the VMs also has patterns with circles, rings, and scales, and others with engrailed lines.
Heraldry that was introduced on VMs Pisces is confirmed of VMs White Aries where general references to armorial and ecclesiastical heraldry are combined on a single nymph to make a very particular historical reference to the origins of a religious tradition (the cardinal's red galero). The construction is intentional. Independent, objective determinations of structure provide evidence of confirmation, based on proper hierarchical placement and preferred heraldic positions, on the choice of Zodiac medallions, and on the prepositioning of papellony patterns. Such complexity with structural and historical correspondence in an illustration can not be attributed to chance.
