I would say that statistical tests can indeed demonstrate that certain textual characteristics speak against the possibility of a hoax. Ultimately, of course, one can always argue that as long as the VMS remains unsolved, no test can provide definitive proof against a hoax. However, this argument can just as easily be used to dismiss a hoax theory. – By “hoax” I understand the production of meaningless text for whatever reason.
