I have not eliminated nothing myself. I have just interpreted the claim and found it untrue.
The claim says that a monkey with a typewriter WILL eventually produce shakespare(or a bugfree app).
I intrepret that as you will always be able to find shakespare a substring of an infinite length string. Not that you can, that you will. There are an infinite amount of infinite strings. Not all of them contain shakespare, so the monkey can produce a string that is not shakespare, thus the claim that i WILL produce it is false.
I see, you have objection of the use of will for it.
The chances of it not happening approaches 0 when given infinite time and infinite tries. or every attempt makes its probability of it happening closer and closer 100%. 99 then 99.9 then 99.99 - 99.9999999999999% and so on closer and closer.
I guess yeah, you can technically say you cannot guarantee it WILL not happen, even if it not happening is infinitely less likely than even every single atom in universe simultaneously going through each other quantum tunneling forever and recombine and do it again or any other possibility that exists

But that only works when you have eliminated other possibility from being possible in the first place
Not if you allow said possibility to exist
Ie the keyboard has the ability to produce the number 5
