The key there is "infinite" and "monkeys". No way all of the infinite monkeys could keep the concentration and will required to only hit "A" over infinite time!And that is a theorem I never believed. Even infinite monkeys could decide to just type the letter 'A' and nothing else, each time for all eternity. No Shakespear written. Just because they do *not* produce random output.
In a non-pedantic explanation, the idea is if you have enough random events, you will generate things that don't look random. Things can look non-random, but still be random.
