Has anyone ever "deciphered" a paragraph?

Marco: I even forgot to mention the gramaticallity of the output. But I wonder if, as a challenge of sorts, if it would be possible to produce a long word-salad without using an interpretative step.

I fear that even this might be very difficult.

It probably depends upon your taste. Do you fancy Hawaiian word-salad?

It also probably depends upon what you count as a word. For example, since I have been looking at Middle English recently, here is a list of various attested forms of the accusative form of the 2nd person plural pronoun: 
yow, ou, yowe, you, youe, yo, yoe, yogh, yaw, yew, yhu, yu, yw, yhow, ȝou, ȝow, ȝouȝ, ȝowȝ, ȝo, ȝowe, ȝu, ȝw, ȝue, ȝiow, ȝeu, ȝew, ȝewe, ȝaw, ȝhow, ȝhowe, ȝiu, ȝeow, ȝehw, ȝuw, gow, gu, giu, geu, geau, eou, eow, eo, eowe, eu, euwȝ, ou, ow, æu, owe, hou, heou, heu

And likewise for the nominative form of the 3rd person plural pronoun:
þei, þey, þeie, þeye, þeiȝ, þeyȝ, þeih, þeyh, þhei, þhey, þai, þay, þeȝ, þe, þee, þi, þie, þy, þye, ai, ay, yei, yey, yai, yay, þeȝȝ; þæȝe ; tai, tay, dei, dey, dai, day ; tei, tey, teȝȝ

With such a variety of word forms to choose from for every word, I might be able to produce a long Middle English word-salad without using any interpretative step. I have used an interpretative step in my own methods precisely because I do care about producing grammatical text that makes sense (which is a different matter than whether or not my efforts and results have succeeded or failed).

Please note: I do consider that the ideas about verbose cipher units discussed on your blog last year (e.g., EVA [ok] as a single unit) will be quite conducive to the process.
