I should also add that in addition to the "juried" selection of which 9 character sets to KEEP (as opposed to reject), you'll notice that they don't expect to simply lay them down sequentially in order to produce the selected work of Shakespeare. They just have to fit in that work SOMEWHERE. Therefore, outside of the experiment of alleged randomness, the 9 character phrase is set in its proper place (whether that be in the first paragraph/stanza or the last) with the foreknowledge of where, precisely, it fits.
That makes the entire article headline (and "experiment") more than little bogus for the point it is attempting to make (at least for all but the most deficient in critical-thinking abilities).
