This is a dangerous line of reasoning: before Copernicus,
the Ptolemaic system summed all observable hints and
explained planet motion putting Earth at the center. The
theory was accepted for centuries. It was endorsed by most
eminent personalities. It was wrong.

To me an acceptable criterion for evidence is: it allows for
*unambiguous* reading of the VMS. We may never find such
evidence, but this is no excuse to comfort ourselves with
weaker theories.

I think a making-of video is not likely (unless the ETs that
built the Pyramids and also wrote the VMS present us with it
:-)  A symbol table or other relevant document is not out of
question. What else may be hidden in the corners of obscure
book collections around the world ?

Yes. It may show that the VMS script was designed for
efficient writing with the media and techniques available at
the time.
