On plain texts and ciphers (a thought experiment)
#62
I understand your point JKP, and you're certainly right. Still, it's a select club of Latin glyphs, a peculiar collection. Off the top of my head, Latin glyphs which are certainly missing are b d e f g h j k l p q t v w x y z.

But let's assume the VM mirrors Latin script looks by intentional design. What could be the point of that? Anyone who can read will see that it's in fact not normal Latin script. And those who can't read won't be able to read it either way. 

I would even go as far as saying that your observations are an argument against people who propose the VM was made to deceive. Who exactly do you want to fool, if you go through much effort to make it look and feel like Latin script?
