> “It’s irrefutable,”

Such absolute language is generally reserved for overconfident people who have jumped to conclusions, not people with experience in statistics and analysis. In particular, substitution ciphers on short strings have a significant number of possibilities. This theory is one, but it is VERY far from "irrefutable", even paired with other circumstantial evidence.
