How do you know the one purple zebra wasn't just walking around in a way that meant they were always not where you were looking?

You can probabilistic say "it's extremely unlikely purple zebras exist" but you can never prove 100% they don't exist. And back to the real example, how can you prove there isn't a bug you just haven't found yet?
