No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

Whether or not you have my vision of the script, there is no doubt that valuable information is lost by replacing the glyphs with letters. By making this change, the shape in which the author conceived the glyphs disappears. For example, we fail to see the symmetry with which the gallows are created, why these glyphs rise above the writing line, or why the left leg of two of them is similar to another glyph with an arrowhead that remains on the writing line.
  
All of these details have been lost when doing any transliteration of the glyphs. Not to mention why the scribe has decided to repeat two of the glyphs up to three consecutive times. 

In short, by replacing the glyphs with letters of the alphabet or any other signs, the document is being seriously adulterated. The VM is then not analyzed as it is but as something else.
