Just for the sake of accuracy, I'd like to point out that VN doesn't
exactly lampoon the whole industry, only a small part of it - namely, the
Baconian pseudo-ciphers. There follows a short passage in the same chapter
that indicates he was at the very least aware of the problems and
contradictions arising from the orthodox Stratfordian attribution.
