Bunny, I don't know how you can make a determination that it is accurate without knowing what is actually in the manuscript and without even knowing if there is meaning intended in the text. Even if there is meaning, you don't know which language was used—there are many other languages that bear a closer resemblance to the VMS structure than English.

I also don't know how you can determine that the translation is "factual". In addition to making a number of unsupported assumptions, you have made several pejorative statements about academic approaches and scientific method, but usually it's necessary to understand those methods before you pass judgment on them.

Then let me reword to clear up any unclarity, Stella's work is the most interesting to me and the most in sympathy to my thoughts on the manuscript.  I find his work to be most alike the tread found in other theories which are outside the normal parameters of methodology. His results and others are relevant to my line of research and so I am interested and they are factual to that area of research.  I do understand scientific method and am not a stranger to the usual approach, but I don't think it is standard manuscript and looking beyond the standard approach follows.  His work is relevant to my thoughts if not to others.

Unfortunately I did not get my translation of Stellar's letters (without reference to the words list, i.e., what would have been a final step in my method if I had that line of letters) on as soon as hoped but will do now. I have done this because it looked a familiar type of letter set.
