"Trust the dice" is terrible advice. The expression is "trust your GM/DM". The dice are the fly in the ointment and the GM's job is to turn their chaos into a satisfying story.

Yeah, I honestly had to Google it because it sounds like such pointless advice. In combat especially, how does “trusting the dice” help at all?

I think what they mean is “trust that the game will turn a lot of failing dice rolls into something interesting in a way a GM might.”
