Why do palindromes happen? Is it just by chance? /u/_Balkis No such thing as stupid questions

Palindromes like “Was it a bat I saw” seem like a very strange coincidence to happen when you think about it..

I mean what are the odds of an English phrase being read from right to left even having a meaning?

After calculating those odds, now what are the odds of that right-to-left sequence being identical to the left-to-right one?!!

Is it just something comparable to the “infinite monkey theorum” effect or is there another take on why palindromes exist?
