Counterpoint: Mr. Gann didn't encode messages in "The Tunnel Thru the Air"

Devils advocacy day.

Ahh, your previous essay inferring Mr. Gann encoded messages (other than symbolic imagery) in TTTTA has been found by scholarly inquiry not to containing such encoding.  Ten investigators, including Petter Amundsen, on a now defunct TTTTA board tried for an extended period and never found such a code.  You may be wasting your precious life on something that can't be done.

To which I reply:

Thanks, I share your concern.

Every encoded document puts its code early in the text.  In my opinion, six "e's" in the first paragraph defies statistical explanation.  Nassim Taleb explains it this way.  An instance of a one-day 5% decline in the stock market in the realm of Gaussian probability has a likelihood of perhaps 1 in a 100.  Two instances of a 5% decline might be 1 in 10.000.  There have been so many 5% declines that the probability is 1 in more than the number of stars that are known to exist......  It isn't random.  "Design."  Similarly, six e's defies any explanation other than design.  Again, "design" but mortal.  [The numbers above are off the top of my head since my text of Black Swan was borrowed and, rudely, never returned.  The point is correct.]

So, I'll give you a bit of coming research.  In the very first paragraph of the paginated book we are given the acrostic "fait" and the fictional death which exemplified "fait."  Chapter I page 1, I find "fait":

And if you still don't believe Gann was giving us a message, then I point to "phaitt" planted beginning on line 358 of Chapter 2 page 15:

This time, Gann does not give us an example of "phaait" but he does give us the completion of the circle....the first 'a' is on line 360 of Chapter 2.  [Both 'fait' and 'phaait' have been used as acceptable spellings of our  current version, 'fate.']

There are many far more interesting acrostic pointers.  Some are really funny…."badsleuth" for example.  And two of the profane variety uncharacteristic of Mr. Gann (I write them off as random).

About your comment that not anyone has, including Peter Amundsen, decoded TTTTA in that now defunct group.  That it hasn't been done doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.....  I'd love to correspond with Mr. Amundsen because he says on his Oak Island website and alludes to such in his fine book of the same name that he was studying Gann when the Lord Bacon "There God speaks" (TTTTA page 126) quote sidetracked him into studying Bacon encoding.  Petter "thought" that Lord Bacon hadn't made that statement and that Gann may have been leading us to study Bacon encryption.  Well, studying Bacon might have been the Gann's motive, but Peter's suspicion of the immaculate quotation was wrong (a constant state in which I find myself; wrongness, not 'immaculation') that Lord Bacon handn't said that.  I found the proof:

So, just because Petter couldn't source (though it confounds me that, given his insightfulness and tenacity, he didn't find it) the quote does not mean it does not exist.  And, similarly, just because Petter and 9 others didn't find a code in Gann doesn't mean it does not exist.
