Jokes necessarily often leave behind details to work.

Here the whole joke is pointing out similarities we see are forced.

And besides, it's obvious the author was intentionally being "wrong", otherwise we'd be suggesting the author assumed the thought-experiment was monkeys who knew language, intentionally typing out great works. That's a pretty useless situation to make up, it doesn't suggest anything interesting.

You're right, but it isnt trying to actually argue that, its a joke.

Yes a fair comparison.

I did post it as a joke. Note how I started my comment with "I think their point is", that isn't my view :)

There's also difference between pretending to miss for a joke that dividing things into quartiles necessarily means a bottom 25% exists (what the meme does). And noting that it's weird failing people based on how they do compared to others and not if they actually actually learn (me suggesting what the user JackGreenEarth was probably trying to get at).
