You will need to explain how you have come to that conclusion. The p-effect seems just to show that pages that have a raised frequency of lines starting p have a raised frequency of gallow words. I cannot see how this supports any of the meaningful text hypotheses, continuous narrative, natural language, shorthand or cypher.
The point remains that a generator capable of producing a hoax in 1430 that could replicate the fascinating interplay between structure and variability in the VMS is anachronistic.
It is far more likely that the cipher provides the structure and an underlying language provides the variability, while maintaining a deeper underlying structure. When examining the ciphers of that era, this is far less anachronistic....
There is structure, however the authors capacity to fool you came from an era with fancier tools. You can build a conlang from a substitution cipher, yet don't use words from that language or on rare occasion do, being that most words are made up. The MS-408 is not random that is known. The entropy implies for MS-408 more often repeated words, thus low entropy. That's not common for well used languages where rules are agreed upon to communicate. The p-effect I cannot make heads or tells about from your stat is the style of the author.
