It's inconceivable that anybody could have recognized it. It was taken
from an exhibition catalogue that had only been published shortly
before I took the text from it.
Which passage did you find impressively coherent? I'd like to take a
look & come up with an explanation. The most likely explanation is that
many of the participants are (as on all Conlang relays, I'm sure)
very sensitive & talented when it comes to matters linguistic.
