There is no way that this sort of arbitrary substitution can function as a method for reliable communication.
Actually, I think it can.
If the number 3.141592653 or a full sentence out of one of Dee's books were found in the exact same numeric sequence, it's highly unlikely to occur in a manuscript of this kind by accident.
However, since stellar's application of the numbers is based on 1) misreading some of the VMS glyphs and 2) misreading some of the Latin in one of Dee's books, 3) cherry-picking the glyphs to be interpreted, and 4) cherry-picking the numerological conversion system based on an Internet utility rather than on actual Welsh numerology research, I think it's highly unlikely that any of the data presented so far is credible.
