===>Question:
How do youknow that the supposed "code" refers to RABIN and not
RUBEN or something else? How do you no that "AMIR" is not MIRA
or MARY or EMIR or AMORY or something else?
Since there are no vowels in the Hebrew text, what is your
probability of coming up with a two, three, or four-consonant word?
