Writing a comprehensible story is hard, which is why we don't teach kids the "random bashing on the keyboard" method for producing great literature, no matter how much your intuition tells you that it should produce text that follows a pattern.
Probability says that if you give enough monkeys a typewriter each and enough time, one of them will eventually reproduce the complete works of Shakespeare. This probability theory has been disproved by virtue of the fact that the internet has failed to produced anything coming anywhere near close.
