Some of the clear weaknesses in the logic are exposed, but one argument that I have a problem with is the writing direction left-right vs. right-left. For me, this cannot be an argument.
If anyone encoded a text that he could read and understand, from a writing system that would normally run right to left, but his own writing system would be left to right, then I think it would be a completely acceptable hypothesis that he adopted his own writing direction.
Even if that hypothesis has a probability of only 50% of being true, the argument disappears.
