A copyist blind to the meaning of the text they are copying helps with one of my key problems with the MS: the paragraphs of (seeming) babbling repeats of words/affixes/syllables. I saw that as a quality control problem of some kind, but I just don't think something that is that large (major sections of large paragraphs) would have been missed. I'm saying that I, naively, think that those should have been removed. I'm probably wrong. So, those sections are valid and they contribute in some way to the purpose of the MS, steganographically or as a verbose cipher. (Seems to be the ninja concensus.) Something (but not many bits) could be encoded in the patterns.
