My problem is, if it was made for someone to enter a university or any public institution, why not a more standard script? If there was an audience that was supposed to be impressed by the MS (as opposed to merely bamboozled), then this audience should have been in the know about its inner workings.
So in that case, the audience actually expected or desired something like the VM. This could be a (secret) society with certain interest. Or an established educational context of which the makers were already part, perhaps.
