I agree. The "gibberish" theories have several big problems.
Quote:The differences between the sections would be easiest to explain with different lists.
AFAIK, changes of topic and style alone could account for those differences.
Quote:The LAAFU features are stronger than previously described—the initial letters produce significantly longer and significantly shorter lines for p vs. o. They favor certain subsequent letters/bigrams and tend to reject others. So something is going on here,
Yes, there are many statistical and structural anomalies around line breaks. But, again, that does not imply LAAFU. Even the trivial line breaking algorithm will generate such anomalies -- a fact that was observed only recently. All the observed anomalies may be just side effects of the actual line breaking "algorithm" used by the Scribe, which includes things like abbreviations, stretching and shrinking of spaces, fancification of glyphs, etc. This possibility is discussed in You are not allowed to view links.

All the best, --stolfi
