No. Chance is more or less a science. You need to do tests on a large scale for the chance to even itself out.

Recreating a test of 100 demons three times, you can end up with 20, then 3 and finally no catch poles. If you do them on a larger scale, however. Like 500 demons, it will even out well enough to calculate it. And at that point, you would still have to run the test about two or three more times to confirm that it was even.

Simply put, a single small scale run won't provide any proof. And once again, these numbers were likely ripped straight from the code. There's no disputing the game's own data.

The reason the Izalith demon appears to drop it more commonly, is likely because you're killing it a lot more, since the others don't respawn. A similar scenario is if you farm the Black Knights in the Kiln. You think they drop more weapons and shields, when in reality, they just get much more chances to drop them than the non-respawning knights outside the Kiln.
