So far the results are not what I expected. Option (1) seems to be generally the explanation found in the most publicised recent theories such as those of: Gerard Cheshire(proto-Romance), Rainer Hannig(Hebrew), Ahmet Ardiç(proto-Turkic?) and Janick/Tucker (Nahuatl). The possibility of meaningless text has been discussed quite a bit recently in the forum, so I expected more people would choose that option. Whilst shorthand has been proposed in the past I didn't expect it to be such a popular explanation. I did expect option (2), a cipher, to be quite a popular explanation, but not as popular an explanation as it appears to be so far in the poll.
