Yeah that's a good distinction to make, I'm trying to make it accessible and less complicated, but it's important to make the distinction that the seed is what is used to produce the initial noise, which is used to diffuse / iterate on to get to a final product
It's a really important distinction because there's a lot more potential entropy in the noise than in the seed. There may be a noise pattern that results in the image, but there probably isn't a seed that makes that specific noise pattern.
There might be countless noise patterns in math but not in reality. The vast majority of those patterns will certainly result in identical result images which is also true for the 2^32 seed variations.
A lot of them are probably going to show the same result.

yep exactly! Though to be somewhat pedantic it’s not the seed, it’s the noise itself.
