First off...it's stenography...It's a method once used by "secretaries" to record what their bosses wanted to say to someone else. Sort of like the "boss" would want his secretary to communicate his opinion. No conspiracy in the markings at all. It was simply a way for the secretary to not have to write it all out longhand. Simple as that.

Steganography is the art of writing hidden messages. Such messages are "hidden in plain sight" in that it's not encoded at all. It's in plain text but disguised as something else.

Stenography is a short form language used to take down notes. It used to
be taught to all up and coming secretaries. I don't know if they still use it.
The dictaphone replaced it.
