I wasn't talking theoretically, Mark.
Since you say it should be relatively easy, I would like to see an example. I'm sure the others would too. Create four or five pages of text that have the same properties as the VMS text.
I would not suggest taking whole tokens (similar to those in the VMS) and simply repeating them because if you do it that way, it does nothing to demonstrate that VMS "filler" text might be meaningless. It would have to be constructed out of "components" (however you wish to define those) that have Voynichese properties in order to fulfill the assertion that filler would be easy to create.
I agree with you that there are myriad ways to create filler. But I do not believe there are myriad ways to create filler that has the same structural properties as Voynichese. It is both quite specific and quite complex at the same time.
