Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds

That’s where the real efficiency gain is… The insertion of an all knowing checker who could have written it himself anyway. The math of permutations vs combinations changes drastically if we change the rules.
