Thread for all discussion about "genuine/meaningless/fake" etc

[bi3mw]

Even a nonsense document must be illustrated and, above all, provided with text. Who is incapable of writing will hardly be able to produce a manuscript whose text is structured like the one in the VMS. He would be able to produce only incoherent "letter salad" (if at all). Whoever produced the VMS wanted to give the impression of a compilation, at least in the pictorial design, and was most likely able to read and write fluently. In my opinion, plain text was "transformed" here into the text it now represents. I consciously avoid to speak of a cipher, since one associates with it immediately certain procedures, which do not have to apply here.
