My statement is that if it does not somehow encode a text, it is still made to look as if it does. So either it hides linguistic contents we could theoretically unveil, or it pretends that it does. I found it strange to realize that those two options cover the vast majority of possibilities.
But it could also hide meaningful non linguistic content that then looks like it is linguistic, like for instance one could encode a table of astronmical position data in ways that could end up looking like words. Not sure why you would but you could.
