That's the first time I've seen this statement by Nick and I have to say it is BANG on the money. It deserves to be a sig file.

Even now, years later, we have NOT yet parsed the glyphs in any way that is empirically substantiated and until at least SOME of that is accomplished, a large proportion of statistical tests will be glyph-assumption-based and highly questionable.

Only space detection and the choice of glyph variants (how many are there?) influence the words network statistics. 8am is as good as daiin for that purpose.
