[Movie] This Famous Medieval Book May Be a Hoax

I think this is a mistake: if you have a functional method for generating meaningless pseudo-language text, you can easily turn it into a fairly effective cyphering method.

Only if the method is deterministic, otherwise you have a one-way cipher. Technically the result is still a ciphertext, but effectively meaningless, even if you used meaningful information in the generation process, because the information is lost.

The self-citation method isn't deterministic.
