Yes, I agree.
I've always thought deciding which system a document is using is like cracking a Caesar code. You can either simply try different conversions till it makes sense or analyse letter frequency.
It's easiest if most characters are correct and hardest if it's a multibyte system (especially if not a fixed number of bytes) interpreted as single byte per character.
Obviously also harder if it's not actually your native alphabet.
