Morten St George Theory

...
A team effort, of course, negates theories about the mad scientist of northern Italy, 15th century, which is needed to explain how the VMS managed to evade all historical reference in an environment under the close scrutiny of the Inquisition. A team effort also tends to negate the hoax theories.

No, it doesn't. I looked into medieval hoaxes and they really weren't much different from what happens today... small groups of people are often involved.

I think the logic is that the VMS is far more complex than the typical hoax, requiring a vast amount of time and effort to put into effect, and therefore, as a pure hoax, is less likely to be attractive to a group of individuals than to a single, mentally disturbed individual. But yes, of course, multiple people can engage in a hoax: years ago it was postulated that the VMS was a hoax compiled by John Dee and Edward Kelley in joint effort.

Know that I view the majority of the depicted plants as fake, that is, as imagined plants rather than as real plants, though surely the artists derived elements from memory of plants they had seen. This explains why the sunflower may be only partially accurate in its depiction.

Likewise, the text accompanying the plant drawings may also be fake, that is, meaningless text compiled by random extractions of tokens from the "starred" pages, namely You are not allowed to view links.

You claim to be an expert on VMS text and are presumably in possession of a large amount of data on it, so you tell me whether or not such a thing is possible.
