Yes, I agree, infinitely more difficult and likely impossible in almost every case. But again thats just me.
If this group made codes, hid them in the works of Shakespeare, and created a trail leading to a treasure in Nova Scotia, for later generations to find, that's cool as fuck. I want to know why? This is an incredible amount of effort, the results of which none of them expected to live to see. Jung would have a field day.
