There was no message. The audience of the movie, and even of the Truman Show within the movie, knew perfectly well the reality of the world. The point of the movie might have been that the truth will out, despite all attempts to prevent it. And that love is perhaps the most real thing of all.
I can't spell my first name without the letters C, I, and A, either, so what does that mean? (Hint: exactly nothing.)
You may be right. But that's also how plausible deniability works, so we can only guess. That's why I use words like "might have been".
Also you're not a youtube star, are you? So you're correct, those three letters in your name need not mean anything special, except perhaps to you.
"Plausible deniability" of what? I don't know what you are referring to. Your "might have been" message makes no sense directed to a 1998 audience (or any audience).
There are plenty of people named Isaac, or other names having those letters, who are or are not YouTube stars. There is no connection. And those three letters, as such, are especially meaningless to me.
You're a year off. This book from 1999 seems more appropriate.
It isn't relevant to the discussion of The Truman Show. Or any other discussion. It's not even written by Isaac Asimov.
