Do you believe Voynichese is a substitution code for a natural language?
#4
I don't think the questions make sense. If we agree it's a one-to-one code, then it's not a natural language; and so the fourth answer makes no sense.

And the third option doesn't gell with your explanation - it should read more like "underlying natural language with anagram code obfuscation" or something. It's fine saying
Quote:I would like to restrict this poll to substitution codes that do not involve transpositions (in other words, this poll is not asking about solutions that involve changing relofw into flower).
But if you don't give those who think this is the answer an opportunity to vote, you're skewing the result.
