My take on this:

I think Jacques' criterion is valid only to test hoax hypotheses' of 
the "disk/grille" class. If there is an algorithm with which one page 
supposedly was generated, then we may safely assume that the other pages were 
generated with essentially the same algorithm, and must show the same 
characteristics.

If OTOH the VM has a (natural or artificial) language as underlying base, there 
simply is no good algorithm to produce (meaningful) text, so the test is simply 
not applicable.

(Or, in other words: This test works only if Schrödinger's box is empty. ;-)

Cheers,
