Questions needed for Stephen Bax interview

[MarcoP]

Woah, lot of excitement here. Let's lay out our objectives first.
We're currently interviewing experts on Voynich related subjects. We're not discussing solutions here.
So when we interview prof Bax, or anyone else in the current series, it will purely be as a professional in his field of expertise.
We have a vague script outlining the questions, although this changes depending upon the thrust of the conversation. If the subject wishes, they can see the questions in advance (in this series).
We certainly have no intention of getting into a solution specific discussion. But if we do, then we will be prearmed with material to cross examine the witness. If, and only if, they want to venture into that territory.

Hi David,
I don't think it's realistic that interviewing Stephen Bax will be the same as interviewing any academic linguist. Stephen never claimed he has a "solution", but he has a detailed theory about several aspects of the language: most linguists have never looked into Voynichese at all.
So you can discuss LAAFU with Stephen, while I guess the average linguist would have no familiarity with the concept. 

I think it's both unavoidable and desirable to move into the territory of the specifics Voynichese. I agree with what others wrote: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. and You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. offer many interesting points to discuss. It's a pity that their discussion didn't start in a more constructive tone and ended even worse. With this interview, you have a chance to pick up that dialogue and see if there are specific area in which a synthesis of the two points of view is possible.
