Many scholars have assumed that the VMS entails encrypted text but few have bothered to inquire about, or speculate on, what it was that they wanted to hide or why they wanted to hide it.

I've seen many people ask why this information would be hidden.

Without raising questions like that, it becomes hard to place the VMS in the correct historical context. Do you guys really believe that plant descriptions require complex encryption?

People do raise those kinds of questions. You just assume they don't.

There's an entire medieval manuscript that enciphers common medical recipes. People don't always need a complex reason to use cipher and our job is not to DECIDE what that reason is. Our job is to research and discover the reason.
