Yeah, like I said in the interview, the VM is actually huge. In one way he was right though, in my opinion. That is, if we had more variation in the corpus, say, Voynichese inscriptions in other manuscripts and so forth, we might be able to learn more from those than from 50 additional VM pages. But it would be better to call that "stronger corpus variation" than "increased corpus size".
And external reference, well, it would just make it much easier I guess.
By the way, Adam is studying computer science, which is a background that appears to influence a few of his answers. But he seems like an intelligent and passionate guy - he's only been studying the MS for like half a year - so he can still learn a lot.
