Ah, optimism in action.
The idea is that people will see random bits of the VM and, almost as if it were a Rorschach test, identify it with the first thing they can think of.
From their documentation:
A few years ago I had the idea of doing something similar, but to create a new transliteration of the VM. My idea was to rip off the old Google Catcha idea where they had people identify individual words from books as part of their catcha.
At the top of the forum page would randomly appear VM words, and people would transliterate them into EVA characters. It would be a transliteration by group agreement.
I lost interest in it when I realised how much work it would be.

'Wow I think I saw this plant a while ago when I was visiting my relatives in Italy. What was its name....'
Call relatives... Search on Google...
'Great now I know the name and species of the plant and I even have a photo from an old botanical book, which I am going to send forward.'
