All I can say is, the more I dig into the peculiarities of the VMS, the more I believe a language underlies it. There are so many language-like factors: relationships between glyphs, bigrams, trigrams; glyphs that avoid each other like the plague, and glyphs drawn to one another. Structures pointing to end markers. Even the first letters of a line are drawn - albeit weakly - to the first letters of the last word. So many small relationships that if someone tried to recreate this without an underlying language, it would be impossible to pull off.
It is precisely these subtleties that, to me, rule out a hoax - because the subtleties are maintained across 200 pages. And then there are the many small differences between the sections of VMS that make no sense as part of a hoax. Why would anyone change their "hoax process" just because a different section starts?
Way too much effort, and back then most people were already overwhelmed trying to decipher a simple substitution cipher with multiple vowel variants. Honestly, none of it adds up. In my opinion, the hoax theory contradicts everything that becomes clear when you take the historical context into account...
