The study misses the key point by using a finite number of monkeys and a finite amount of time. Mathematical analysis (example below) shows a statistically small chance which in reality proves the theory. Using finite measures to disprove an infinite concept is flawed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1852188011695391085

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
