OP It seems to me that some very bright people take seriously ideas that to me seem stupid. At the moment I am thinking about the idea that a thousand monkeys typing indefinitely would eventally type Shakespeare's complete works.
In the first place there is no reason to be confident that there is any such thing as infinite time. And even if the logistics of training and maintaining the monkeys could be met,I believe the time elapsed prior to completion of a single correct line would be so great that there could be no hope of completing the whole task.
