"In fact, any time you shuffle a deck to the point of randomness, you have probably created an arrangement that has never existed before."
Eh... Maybe not. My bet is it is somewhat analogous to the birthday problem. I have no doubt that it's possible to create many new arrangements, but the possibilities are probably not normally distributed and there's been a hell of a lot of card games played.
All of theese come together to say that a new shuffle is probably not unique in the universe.
