Re: VMs: Excessive frequency of doubles

[Bruce Grant <bgrant@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One explanation that seems plausible to me is that these repetitions 
represent a "buffer underrun" on the part of a scribe who is making up 
text in real time and momentarily runs out of words. (To see what I 
mean, try a bit of "speaking in tongues" and see how quickly you find 
yourself repeating).

Of course, the fact that the scribe can write so quickly as to have that 
problem could equally well mean either that the text is _completely_ 
meaningless, or that it is _mostly_ meaningless, for example, because 
only one character per word is significant and the rest is window-dressing.
