I’m more partial to the infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters theory myself. The reason that the laws are coming up with are so flawed is because of truncation errors due to the fact they were unable to obtain an infinite number of either monkeys or typewriters.

LOL - And here I was going to attribute it to the instability of using floating-point numbers that are both very big and very small at the same time....
Ex: suppose you have 20,000,000 [20 mil] and you add .000,000,000,1 [1 mil ^-1] the result could well be... 20,000,000, because the floating point doesn’t have the precision required to represent the number 20,000,000.000,000,000,1
