An understanding of improbability at such a small scale is necessary to understanding improbable assembly at a large scale. Despite the improbable assembly, it is amazing that life has so many factors in common. With so many possible combinations of amino acids, it is amazing that (relatively) only a few compose life. To look at this differently, one could also say that improbable assembly as such a small scale merely highlights the improbable assembly of life.
