Not challenging, just clarifying, because I agree. In "given an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of typewriters, eventually one of them will produce the script to Hamlet", the key word is "eventually", and speaks to nothing about the quality of the monkeys or of their writing. It's a rephrasing of Bogosort. If you try to optimize the bogosort process in some way so it finishes in less than infinite time in the average case, it's not bogosort anymore. And bogosort is exactly what you don't want when you break the rules. Being able to break the rules is about knowing which rules to break and how to break them, not trying things randomly hoping it gets better. But one also has to watch out for being too knowledgeable and not being able to, uh, "think outside the box" when looking for new things to try. To quote Web Dude, "did you restart it three times?"
