What you write is very interesting. However, I am not sure that I fully understand where you support me and where you criticize me. And do you offer any methods of verification? Could you describe your thoughts on this issue in more detail?
PS I couldn't answer quickly because I had no electricity for 4 days due to a storm. On the fifth day I was resting after many days without internet. On the sixth day I had an urgent, hectic trip from early morning until late evening. On the seventh day I was resting.

The first "what's really there on the vellum" challenge was LAAFU, the
unexplained position in line effects. Emma May Smith's recap is good:

She's a favorite of mine. Her English word flow is like her reasoning.
The second thing is not something that I actually saw before it was pointed
out to me. This is the rigid internal structure inside each word. This is a serious
thing and it reduces the entropy a lot. Oh, Eirikur on entropy: I call it Shannon information or
carrying capacity. At this point in my journey I did some calculations and got a very
rough number of two bits per glyph. For a direct to dictionary model to work, I think you need
about six bits to define a European letter. So, that makes this a pretty labor intensive operation
for quill-pen users, doable of course, but strange. Someone did a more convincing bits analysis and got 1.6 bits per glyph. That's really tough to work with. I bet it's true, but I hope not. I'm exposing my personal biases here, but I don't trust them. I need to prove things. I'm good at being wrong.
