that was my point.. chance is purely subjective, and so is certainty. Because it is likely impossible to have ALL information, then to the observer the universe is essentially random--how is he to know otherwise?
Indeed. It is kinda like wanting to know how big exactly 'infinite' is ... Infact, speaking of which, you'd need an infinite amount of knowledge like you said. This is impossible to have, so randomness must 'exist'. That's common sense to me.

Common sense ( mine and yours ) claims that "chance" is simply a lack of information
Let's throw a dice .. there's really no way to predict the outcome always correctly for an infinite amount of times. We might lack information indeed; air resistance, spinning forces of the dice, the table's surface friction, the balance point of the dice (should be perfectly centered) and more, but there's no way to find out about those before throwing the dice ...
We throw dice without the information we have to know, and we can't know that information. In my opinion, this is what chance is about.
