That's true, but without a warrant the law cannot see how someone fabricated that noise.

In this particular case there's also the simpler, more technical/mathematical argument: you cannot possibly just "accidentally" have that exact noise. Getting those specific bits instead of any other sequence from the space of random numbers that much long requires you to extend effort at least equivalent to possession of the exact copyrighted work that happens to fall out of the XOR exercise.
