    Scott Tucker asked me to post how many experiments I ran with Caesar cyphers
    in my original post. Those I posted are all I did. I had the computer make
    a random sequence and then looked at the sequence to come up with a Caesar
    cypher which would turn it into a meaningful phrase. Before critics raise
    the idea that I designed the Caesar cypher, I did! It merely is a special
    case of the more robust Vigenere code which is capable of turning any random
    sequence into any meaningful sentence. A Vigenere code is a very flexible
    transform.

    So, I would ask, when looking at a random sequence of letters, how do you
    rule out the concept that it was really designed by a devilish spy?
