I have only read the first paragraph, which was enough to know that this is an attempt to desperately defend the linguistic impossibilities proposed in the first paper.
Quote:Having announced the discovery of the writing system used for manuscript MS408, in the paper titled Linguistic Missing Links, it has become apparent that the concept of a solution comprising an unknown language and alphabet has been difficult for some to accept, despite the paradigm being entirely logical and the argument being supported by a raft of supporting evidence. Above all, it is apparent that those unfamiliar with the science of palaeography have a naïve expectation that the solution should offer a means of simply rendering the manuscript text into modern language without the application of effort and the deployment of intelligence.
I'll just hide under my moderator cap and refrain from further comments

OMG!
None of the people who critiqued his ideas exhibited a "naive expectation that the solution should offer a means of simply rendering the manuscript text into modern language... etc. blah blah blah".
He obviously didn't even understand the criticisms if this is his counter-argument (or doesn't want to ).
