The gibberish thread
#16
True, the VM's relatively huge corpus should allow for easier identification of what's going on, and the fact that we still haven't been able to do that is an argument (not proof) in favor of meaninglessness. 

But as you say, we can actually identify structure and spelling rules. This suggests that a real writing system is in place, but it obscures any underlying language. This could be because of our ignorance, or because of intentional obscurity, or because the writing system was flawed.
