If the text is meaningless, why does anyone want to spend so much words on something that is meaningless?
With that being said, I am not referring to the scribe, but to those people here, who argue for many many many years that the text is meaningless.
If I have something meaningless, like a photo, a text document, or an old book. I throw it out and never talk or look at it again.
Suppose our life is meaningless, would those that argue that, are willing to set up a church in order to promote that viewpoint?
I think not. The energy and research must be on discussing the possible meaning of life, eh text. Not the other way around.
YES, there is repetition. YES, there is a small edit distance. We can all see it. Now, what does it mean? Or could it mean?
The possible explanation: "the scribe is just a repetitive medieval person, who just wants to copy letters, or half-words, and want to spend his time over a long period in meticulous small writings, on expensive material. And he makes these drawings, and he has zero intend to embed anything worthwhile inside the manuscript. As a matter a fact, he avoids any reference to anything that could depict a meaning."
I do not believe that it is possible for a human to do such, hundred of pages. Especially for an educated person.
On the other hand, I see a lot of repetition here on the forum on this subject, over and over again, year after year, the same is being proposed and discussed, hmmmmm, perhaps I am now convinced after all. Yes, yes, I see now, the text is meaningless!! Ok, and now what?
