What you say people mostly agrees with my vague intuition. It is close to impossible to prove that something is meaningless for sure.
Even if you write some simple pattern like 1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3... it could still mean metre for waltz or something like that and thus have meaning.
Some specific cases could be possible like reading the ciphered text and identifying nulls. That would be Mark's case.
Generally if I remember my lectures well, some categories of negative statements are harder to prove in philosophy that positive ones.
Try to prove that dogs exist. And then try to prove that dragons do not exist
