Our voters constantly and consistently reject candidates and policies that only benefit billionaires and their stooges, what could that ever mean to the electability of our candidate who fawns over Reagan staffers?

The proof assumes that the monkeys mash the keys at random and that there is a nonzero probability to write any chunk of text appearing in Shakespeare's works. If there is a section that the monkeys cannot generate, for example if we removed the letter 'e' from their typewriter, the monkeys will never write the complete works of Shakespeare regardless of the amount of time spent on it, so their point still stands and it depends on the assumptions you make about the monkey typists' typing skills.

Surely we could optimize the return value with a switch statement and store the result as an integer to hide the compiler warning about our clearly correct code:

internal static bool AreBooleansEqual(bool orig, bool val)
{
    int result;
    if(orig) 
    {
        if(val)
        {
            result = 0;
        }
        else
        {
            result = 1;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        if(val)
        {
            result = 1;
        }
        else
        {
            result = 0;
        }
    }
    switch (result)
    {
         case(1):
             return true;
         case(0):
             return false;
         default:
             return AreBooleansEqual(orig, val);
    }
}

New LOC: 35

A satirical fascist setting attracts real fascists who're too dumb to realize it's a satire, story as old as time.

Doesn't even need to generate actual wealth, as speculation about future wealth is enough for the market.

Quacks get banned/shunned because they're usually obnoxious and abusive, not because they hold fringe ideas. If it was only the latter they'd fit right in in most fields.
