The situation is that you have been trying to associate the VMS with 15th century Europe when you should really be looking at 13th century Europe.
No, you are are wrong. I have not being trying to associate the VMS with 15th century Europe. I DON'T CARE when it was made. I DON'T CARE where it was made. I would LOVE it if it were made in the 13th century, which is an interesting period of history, but there are no signs of 13th century writing or drawing or technology in the VMS. Early medieval manuscripts have a certain look and feel that is clearly recognizable and the VMS doesn't ring true for the 13th century.
The EVIDENCE points to 15th century and more than likely the Old World. I have no choice in the matter. The data leads where it leads.
You are following a hypothesis. Hypotheses can be misleading. More often than not, a premature hypothesis, that is formed before there is sufficient knowledge to formulate it, ends up leading a person astray.
