I wouldn’t call Eliezer’s emphasis excessive, nor would I call the sequences “walls of text”. This is an example of both: http://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/yj5053f092.png
My question is: if you didn’t know any English, could you still infer that this is more likely to be baloney, or not?
Without knowing English, I would suggest that only the excessive repeated bangs and interrogation marks are high-value. The excessive ALL CAPS is likely mid-value, and the lack of paragraph breaks is low-value.
That extreme? Yes it is evidence that the author has low competence and that is evidence of being false.
