Interesting. It *does* bear relation to Hol... at least, to words. There
are too many familiar-looking words (modulo misreadings, typos, l/I
interchanges, etc) to be coincidence. It must have been written with at
least one eye on TKD. But the meanings of the words seem to have no
bearing whatsoever on the meanings they should have in context. It looks
to me like someone decided to make things at least a LITTLE more
"authentic-looking" by randomly choosing words out of TKD to fill out the
lines. That may be better than randomly choosing words out of the
air... but I'm not positive it is.
