[split] Why the VMS text is meaningful or meaningless?

[ReneZ]

I would argue that the presence of "tiny indications" is not contradicting the absence of "convincing evidence".

When they are considered together they begin to form evidence ex contrario.

Anton, I'm afraid I can't agree at all.
One can make lists of arguments why the text seems meaningful, and why the text seems meaningless.
In any such list, invalid arguments would have to be removed.

You presented two examples why the text could be meaningful (not a very long list), but both are completely speculative.
Speculation can never be used as evidence.
