This is like giving you three outputs from md5sum and asking you to guess for which one the input ended in a "q". There's no way to tell unless you break the RNG.

I think the point is probably to help convince people that the watermarking doesn’t perceptibly impact quality, which is a concern some people have (whether well founded or not).
"doesn’t perceptibly impact quality" no not perceptibly but it does.

Similar to how a single particle of dust landing on your shoulder makes you weigh more.
Yes it does - but anyone arguing that is completely missing the point.
