Stephen, for me, many of the bullets don't even have anything to do with meaningful vs. meaningless, e.g. the bullet about punctuation.
Furthermore, there is a basic assumption that character groups are complete words, and this may not be true.
Equally importantly, a list can be made of points that argue in favour of meaning and language-like structure.
It will be equally difficult to find a meaningless text generation method that includes all of them.
It is precisely on such bullets that the methods of Rugg and Timm fail.
Like I wrote, for me it is a complete stand-off.
