Maybe it's more like, it doesn't matter how correct you are unless you can afford a good lawyer. The infinite monkey theorem is not applicable. Lawyers who make the bulk of their money from being on the suing side (or not necessarily suing, just being hired to be able to sue) rather than the defending side are not monkeys randomly pressing keys on their keyboards.
Then again, not everyone's threat model for "getting sued" is the same.
