(I know nothing about NLP)

Does it make sense to check the process with a control group?

E.g. if we ask a human to write something that resembles a language but isn’t, then conduct this process (remove suffixes, attempt grouping, etc), are we likely to get similar results?

I suppose if you've got a hypothesis about how it was written (eg the Cardan grille method) you could generate some texts via that method and see if they display the same characteristics?

yes exactly, why did we not simply ask 100 people to write voynich manuscripts and then train on that dataset
