It seems both of you missed the subtext here, and the reason that the
attempt to introduce fictional scripts might cause consternation (the
original point here)?

The German ballot comments about Deseret were dismissed on the basis that it
was not, in fact, a fictional script. Obviously a dismissal worded the same
way for an actual fictional script would not be possible, and the resistance
to fictional scripts will have to be directly addressed?
