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

[Anton]

Despite Davidsch' and Anton's remarks, I maintain that it is (unfortunately!) impossible to prove that the text is meaningless. All one can do is demonstrate that a hypothesized method of text generating is feasible.

This is effectively the same as to say that "it is impossible to prove that the text is meaningful. All one can do is to demonstrate that the text can be unambigously mapped to a certain plain text in some language. But the fact that such mapping fits may be purely accidental."

Ceteris paribus, if one demonstrates a method (of text generating), for me that would present a definite argument (I wonder why it won't for you). The problem is that noone has yet succeded in that, and for sure cannot succeed as long as existing transcriptions are used which simply do not address all peculiarities of the script.
