Morten St George Theory

[Morten St. George]

It's not a well drawn armadillo, various crucial features are missing.

I read the following on a VMS website called "1910 Theory":

"And the famous 'armadillo' rears it's pretty head. The interesting thing is, this looks much like an armadillo to almost everyone who does not know of the Voynich, nor care when it was made, but looks nothing like one to anyone who believes the Voynich was written and illustrated before Columbus. It becomes a pangolin, wolf, or one of many other creatures that were known to Europeans in the 15th century. 

... the majority of those who thought this could not be an armadillo were the same people who believe the Voynich was pre-Columbian. This strongly implies that the 'expert opinion' of Voynich dating is colored by it's own prejudices and projections, and should be taken with some reservation."

But the author of these words discredits himself by effectively agreeing with the "experts" that it was impossible for Europeans to cross the Atlantic prior to Columbus. Are they afraid of losing their job for merely mentioning such a possibility?
