Speculative fraud hypothesis

[dexdex]

Rene, you mentioned there are difficulties with this hypothesis. I'm curious, can you think of other ones in addition to the ones I mentioned?

It is all subjective, of course, but the main problem for me is that so much planning and attention has gone into the book, that the 'just a prop' idea isn't entirely satisfactory. 
I recently decided to check a feeling I have long had, about the frequency distribution of the labels, in particular the zodiac labels.

I still want to add some other things to that, so I had not yet mentioned this, but this is perhaps a good occasion.
Note that this is not proof of anything, but it is one of the things that shapes my opinion.

Yes, the idea that labels have a non-zipfian distribution (as they should) is a thing that makes me think that some information is there. However, the built vocabulary + imitated books of a certain type might also explain some of those aspects. The hardest part is that some label words do happen in other 'books' - though perhaps this is merely accidental and an artifact of the word generation: similar words were regenerated while imitating word structure of typical labels. Or it's an artifact of a self-copy method. I will read that page as I haven't seen it yet.
