I have published the auto copying hypothesis in 2014 (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).
So far, three responses were published: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
Two are in favour of my hypothesis and Gordon Rugg only says that he is not convinced.
In summary I would say there are no published arguments against my hypothesis.

For the label topic see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. p. 7 - 9. The scribe probably used the labels less frequently as a source for the generation of other words.
Your dictionary hypthesis does not explain that similar words do co-occur throughout the whole VMS (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.). It is also not possible to explain this way that similarly spelled word types occur with predictable frequencies (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. p. 6). They occur with comparable frequencies, whereas types which contain less frequent glyphs or bigrams in most cases occur less frequently (see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. p. 66-82).
