Spelling variation is a fact. Can't get rid of that. C-14 dates are in advance of most all relevant attempts at spelling standardization, if my scanty knowledge is correct. However there is the matter of quantity as to how many spelling variations might exist. Alternatives certainly do exist but, given the limited and roughly fixed phonetic set in a natural language, there are only so many ways to spell sugar.
The VMs has spaces between vords, some apparently intentional ranging to others more questionable. If this is a natural language then the probability is that a vord is a vord. If spaces are artificially inserted, then it's something else - again involving trickery.
Like so much else in the VMs that exhibits a pattern of pairing, the text interpretation <if it is a natural language> seems to have two major parts. One is the conversion of glyphs to phonemes. And the other is converting phonetic vords into words, which implies a known language. Apparently we need one to inform the other, but we have neither. That doesn't stop people from making the attempt, even though those efforts may be flawed.
