What do you mean 100%?
You honestly don't believe that a monkey knows how a typewriter works - how to strike the keys one at a time, how to change a ribbon, etc - let alone have a working knowledge of English language - spelling, sentence structure, punctuation etc - and also have a keen sense of drama to write such stories?
Preposterous! Even in this universe the odds were nill that Shakespeare himself type out the complete works of Shakespeare. For he lived a full two and a half centuries before such an invention!
