[Blog Post] Peter Bakker on the VMS

[Aga Tentakulus]

When I really read the old books, I see the word repetition. Sometimes it's so bad it's really annoying.
Ugly or not, it was reality.

What bothers me about Bakker's statement is that he doesn't attach enough importance to encryption.
Understanding what's written on an old pottery shard is another matter entirely. It's not subject to encryption. It's never just a piece of glass from the same time and culture with just one text.
I'm not comparing coconuts to peas just because they're both round.
