The method with which the VMS could be "encrypted" is perhaps simpler than one might first assume. After all, an entire manuscript would have been edited with this method. An overly complicated system would be very cumbersome to implement and, given the mass of text, also very error-prone.
One can only speculate whether the author wanted to provide a text that is theoretically decipherable or whether this possibility was unimportant for him. In the latter case, it would be irrelevant whether the text contains errors in the encryption or not. This would, of course, make decryption even more difficult.
