On the one hand, these do sound like a suspicious gathering of "coincidences." But then again, on the old "infinite number of monkey typing on an infinite number of typewriters and one will come up with a Shakespeare sonnet" idea, over a long period of time such things might indeed happen. But it is curious, isn't it?
No number of monkeys typing forever will ever write Shakespeare. A sonnet is a product of conscious expression not random occurrence. Pseudointellectual bs.
From that link: "The answer is yes, With infinite time and all of the infinite monkeys will produce hamlet and every other works infinitely many times."
But you miss the larger implication. While I admitted that, yes the "coincidences" do seem a bit odd, on the other hand, in all of time and space such coincidences might be possible.

You miss the point; it's a mathematical supposition, not reproducible in real life. Since an infinite amount of monkeys, and an infinite amount of typewriters, and an infinite length of time are all impossible to replicate, math comes to this supposition by logic. https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/17152/given-an-infinite-number-of-monkeys-and-an-infinite-amount-of-time-would-one-of

It’s a stupid and false mathematical supposition
Sigh... if you say so.
