The whole thing is dumb if you accept a premise of "infinite monkeys".

If thats the point where you want to draw the line, I guess that it becomes dumb at exactly that point.

But the point of the thought experiment is that it says what you said: it will definitelly happen because infinity is absurdly big number.
