JKP says, " I see what we so frequently see–a handful of words wrested out of the text by cherry picking the language of interpretation and secondarily, by accepting bad grammar and logical inconsistencies between the translated words and similar untranslated words."
This seems to be *so typical* of proposed VMs translations, that I generally don't follow these 'linguistic' presentations. It always seems that some sort of method has been applied to the VMs text with a low level of pot-shot success barely achieved through gymnastic manipulation and multiple exceptions. If the house of cards can withstand the collective scrutiny, and none ever has, I will learn of it eventually.
What's wrong here is 'method' - the choice of method, and the discovery of method. After some efforts the investigator finds a method that translates a few scattered words. That is - an externally imposed, carefully tailored, system of interpretation can make sense of a few short text segments. That's a level of success in the same ballpark with the monkeys and typewriters.
The origins of the proposed methodology are significant. Is there an alternative to repeated application of various externally developed methods of interpretation? It would have to be something internal that develops 'organically'. Something with more than just a superficial presence.
