Imagine that someone in medieval times wanted to write a mysterious book. His goal is to write a book nobody is able to read. What is the best way to generate manually large amounts of dummy text?
I am not arguing that self-citation isn't the most efficient way to create a hoax text. My argument was that, with my analysis results indicating that the algorithm was probably more complex than this self-citation method, the author must have had a lot of patience/motivation to create a hoax text.
