This shows a complete lack of understanding by the people who organized the experiment.
"Infinite monkeys" is a little different from six monkeys for one month. Anyone who actually thought that anything significant would emerge from six monkeys for one month has no knowledge of statistics. Maybe six thousand monkeys for six thousand years.
This reminds me of the arguments against evolution, when people do studies involving a handful of generations. You just can't get anything to happen in that short a time - but give it millions of generations...
