Exactly. With all minor discrepancies, isn't it strange we were not able to solve at least something of the text yet?

It is not fault of EVA, but of the concept. The hope that only better transcript can give us the solution 
is futile.  Imagine you never heard about music and you get in hand one printout of sheet music with 
some missing notes - how do you figure out that those eliptic pictures are actually notes?  If you can 
read, then the accompanying text in the sheet is helpful, so you imagine that the signs are probably 
sounds. Still, it may be just  pronunciation, no it cannot,  the elipses are just positioned differently, so  
it must be something lese. If you  know  something  about frequency,  you  may consider harmovic 
sounds and so on. Only then you start to worry about signs like # and b  or missing notes.
