Since 3/4 of infinity is still infinity, I conclude that the true author was, in fact, an infinite number of monkeys. But in that case, we have to wonder why only 3/4 of the lines make any sense, since an infinite number should have reproduced Macbeth perfectly. I surmise that this is just one of the infinite monkey cage's works, and an inferior one at that. The better works must be hidden somewhere.
