Torsten, your analysis is a powerful argument against the hypothesis of a verbal language, but defending the hoax hypothesis is as absurd as defending the verbal language. As René says there is more planning and system in the VM, rules which are no identified.
The problem is to think that there is a text in the VM. What there is is a code of symbols in which each glyph represents a real referent. It is an astronomical system and your theory fits well with it because it describes the movement of symbol strings. The celestial objects move constantly and change position and that is what describes your method of similar tokens in close vicinity. For me, your theory is a good representation, step by step, of the movement in the sky. The Curve-Line system helps to understand it. The © symbol is simply the Moon.
Of course, the VM is meaningful but it is necessary to understand its inherent philosophy.
