Need advice for testing of hypotheses related to the self-citation method

[Mauro]

In my considered opinion - and I have always been outspoken about this - the self-citation method is not a resonable 'solution' of the Voynich MS. 

I have expressed my doubts too on the self-citation method.

The argument that the initialisation is not a problem, it was just done 'somehow', for me is not satisfactory. 

It may not be the biggest problem (because I think that the whole thing cannot work), but it is being consistently swept under the carpet ;-)

Of course the seed string will have some effects, ie. if one starts with "xx zz bb" it's not a given at all that the x,z, and b will completely disappear (there are no rules to preferentially suppress those characters in Torsten's software). But surely if the seed string conforms to the rules, that is to say, if each of its words could have been generated by applying the rules to a null string, then the output texts will be statistically undistinguishable whichever seed string one actually used (and, in particular, even if one started from a null string).
