The VM as Outsider Art

I also don't think that 'meaningless' is quite the default hypothesis yet, though I consider it  a distinct possibility.

Maybe this is just my impression. At least looking at publications of past 10 years, I know of a few that argue for some version of meaningless text hypothesis, but I can't remember any single one that would argue for a meaningful interpretation and would be generally accepted as viable.
