  1. I don't see why. I would say with any scrambling step it might just as well come out looking more like English. Even with a simple offset of each letter it will immediately be nothing like English. If you do 5 steps, how would doing 4 leave you with more patterns found in plain English?

  2. I don't understand how this compares to the situation back then. I imagine the British intercepted encoded messages but did not have a clue about the way these were produced. This guy starts with in-depth knowledge about the machine used to encode the messages.
