[split] Jorge's Retracer Thread: darker ink, retracing of text and drawings

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I see.  Your theory is that it is steganography -- the glyphs are irrelevant, the "message" is encoded in the small details of stroke shapes and connections.

Now I understand why you feel so strongly about the Retracing Theory.  And the Scribe Not Author Theory. They say almost exactly the opposite: those little details are irrelevant, because they are random variations of the Scribe's handwriting further perturbed by ignorant Retracers. 

Well, sorry, but I think there are plenty of evidence for both theories...

All the best, --stolfi
