So this is interesting. In an attempt to understand the patterns in language in order to determine if signals from space contained intelligence or were the result of some natural phenomenon, linguistics developed a model that, at the time, generated actual words using patterns detected deeper and deeper in generating - manually - letter combinations based on examination of what letter came next in real words..
This led, of course, to large language models, the root of today's artificial intelligence, and the booby traps therein.
So even if a signal is detected that passes the test of language vs. noise, it could still be noise.
