Voynich theories and Voynich solutions

[Emma May Smith]

Voynich research is easy, but constructing a Voynich research programme - by which I mean a concerted attack on an aspect of it that stands a chance of leading to genuine knowledge - is extraordinarily hard.

There's a big difference between the two.

No, not really. I think most successful researchers, like most failed ones, are simply obsessives who will look at the same thing a hundred times hoping to see something new. The difference is luck and intelligence, or even pure stubbornness.
