If you consider the total combinations of the 75%/25% progeny as a whole, logic would dictate your statement as accurate. I'm not sure if logic is the end all here, though. Many (most?) genetic traits carry dominant/recessive alleles, or gradients thereof, so it can be complicated. Still, there would certainly be empirical genetic combinations that would buck the trend.
