	In fact I've been wondering about this.  I don't know 
much about Kelley, but he clearly did not have Dee's 
intellect.  Was he truly capable of producing something 
of the VMs' complexity, considering all involved in 
inventing the script, the ill-precedented drawings, and 
the "language"?

	Crippies work on just such problems.

	Also, I would not expect the rules of such a hoax to 
be too complex.  The input might well be random, but 
the rules for a hoax might be fairly recoverable - if 
in fact it is a hoax. And that might be the best 
evidence that it is not in fact a hoax.
