The reason that I never gave SB2 much stock was, early on, he was putting out his 'methods' and 'rules' that he follows in order to decode.  Great.  I can reverse engineer his methods and apply them elsewhere to see that it provides useful information. I tried his methods, then I noticed how he was breaking the rules he set to decode because that would supply a message more in line with what he wanted to say.    Also, the methods were overly complex while suggesting that the double meanings were the overt and covert (decoded) meanings.  So, I thought I'd give a test to see how involved it would be to include a secondary text within a first text using even the simplest type of code.  It was near impossible without carefully crafting the whole thing, the input text, the secondary text and the letter swapping method to have both works.    If Q is out to put information out there that anyone can read, and at least after the fact, put the pieces together in a coherent way that shows the planning.  Using such intricate methods that most would dismiss gets to the point where SB2 seemed to be implying that Q was communicating to everyone AND with a special message for SB2 to share.  Sorry SB2, you're not that special. The way I see it, having a message with a code MUST be simple or it won't be considered.  Like when Trump fired Comey, the first letter of each line spelled 'I win'.  No special skills required.  Having 'mistaken' capitalizations can be used to directly spell a second message on top.  Simple.  When it comes to taking letters, adding them together, building a grid with the letters to swap letters until something pops out, the best case that is wishful thinking. The more complex the code the fewer people can decode, and that seems contrary to the point.
