And *we* may have the tools to demonstrate it.

No. The text tiling program finds the boundaries *between* paragraphs.

Now if there is a strong correlation between the boundaries that the program
finds, and boundaries in the VMS (paragraphs, page ends, illustrations),
then it may be a meaningful text after all. If however there is no
correlation between the boundaries from the program and boundaries in the
VMS, then the text is probably unstructured gibberish.

We will have to test the program first on several "normal" texts.
