I don't think it would happen by accident.

You think?
Then look at the Internet. Billions if not trillions of random connections
Uncounted gigabytes of information coursing thorough it every second. Computer virus's that have been designed by hackers to evolve running all over the place.
Memes and random program's and all sorts of shit haphazardly interacting with each unchecked.
I think it is more likely to happen by accident here than in a lab.
