As a person who likes puzzles, seeing Gary Oldman freak out over the Bible that Eli was using made me mad. I could crack that 1:1 English cypher in no time. Then he just has to hire some goons to write it all out for him and bam, he wins.
But now he has the treasure right in his hands! He can dedicate his time to it, or assign goons who are smarter. It just strikes me as so defeatist, as though Braille is some incomprehensible otherworldly communication system.
In the natural world there is no such thing as boundless slaughter, but you and your brother are different. Each step you take is paved with the corpses of your enemies. You are from a world I do not wish to know. I WILL BE WATCHING YOU UNDERSTAND

He's also dying of a GSW in a post-apocalyptic world without antibiotics or surgeons.
So the Braille Bible MacGuffin is really some forced comeuppance.
His plans were doomed either way with no immediate heir.
