That's an interesting question.
I don't know if it's an answerable question (I need to think about it for a while) or a productive question (maybe, maybe not, depending on how the question is approached) but I don't think I've seen it posed before (I've seen it stated as as theory, but not as a question) and when I read the question, I realized I've never approached the VMS text from that angle—I've always looked at it as maybe (hopefully) having meaning rather than assuming that it does not or might not.
