That sounds like a good idea, but how would the latin sample score against a program's output if it, for instance, produced latin that was as much of a mess as that on f116v? Do you think it would still stand out as a promising result?
One of the problems of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is understanding which glyph corresponds to which Latin letter (if any at all). So in a certain sense, if we assume You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is a coherent text in Latin, it's not the final plaintext, but maybe something closer to the cipher discussed here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (which has about half of the alphabet written without any changes, the rest is written with special symbols, s#m^wh%t s-m-l%r t# th-s ^x%mpl^).
If we assume the popular reading of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. with some plaintext Romance words is correct ("portas", "Maria", "multos"), then it would be one of thousands of partial match results, probably won't stand out much.
But personally, I don't think You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is a coherent (but mangled) text. Or if it is, the language is not Latin and quite far from Latin. The simplest explanation I have for You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (other than doodles/pen tests) is that it's some mnemonic related to the key of the cipher. Most encoding schemes use some mapping of symbols, without this mapping even knowing how the cipher works, decoding a ciphertext can be hard. Knowing the mapping, but not knowing how the cipher works, may offer reasonable protection by the medieval crypto standards. So, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. could be list of letters hidden as every third letter in this sequence or something similar.
