From my own experience, and from what I have been reading elsewhere, you guys frequently fight tooth and nail against any suggestion that the VMS script and drawings could have originated prior to the 15th century. It is in fact widely assumed that it all originated in the 15th century, which in effect constitutes a total rejection of Currier's copying job theory.

Morten, I completely agree with Helmut. There is a difference between the age of what was copied and when it was copied.
The VMS most certainly originates somewhere around the time of the radio-carbon dating. That does not mean the content originated at the same time. Medieval scribes were always copying older manuscripts. In fact, most of them were copied (or at least largely copied).
I don't think anyone has made any pronouncements about when it originated because no one can read it yet. What date did the CONTENT originate? It could be 9th century, 11th century, 13th century... big question mark. We simply don't know yet.
