But....If I said I was NOT correct and, in fact I was NOT correct

I was going to post:
"You are right!" That is not correct."

But I thought it might confuse things.

That's the problem with transposition ciphers. For small messages the solution is either obvious or next to impossible without additional contextual information because there are too many solutions.

I suggest that we move to much longer texts where solving the transposition cipher becomes more of a challenge, and a fairer challenge at that. If there is any support for this suggestion I'll produce a few ciphertexts of varying difficulty.
