It's a lazy (slang) way of saying..."It just goes to show...."

I've heard similar expressions in several languages.
It seems to be said by people who are rebelling against those who are apparently better educated and tell the rest of society what to do.
For example, an exception to a rule, such as a person who never smoked or drank dies of a heart attack at 35.
The exception is held up as proof that the experts are wrong, and 'we' (the people?) were right all along.

It is when you can supply an example of something that generally dis-proves `the norm`. For example, One man owns £.20.000. worth of premium bonds yet the person who won the £1.million in the monthly draw, owned only £1.00.worth of bonds. " It just goes to show, that it isn`t always the most that wins the prize" One would expect that the first man stood a better chance of winning , but he did not.
