Indeed:

Both Jim and Frogguy are quoted. No extraterrestrials,
no Chinese hypothesis but a well-balanced argument that
the text looks like real language, but could be the
work of a mad medieval genius (among many other suggested
possibilities).

And the hope that we (well, someone) may still solve it
is present too.

The article is far more interesting than the USA Today
one, but not quite as informative as the Lingua Franca
one, mainly due to the fact that it is much shorter.
