Sorry, but claiming that one can read and understand the text in the Voynich MS, after 100 year of unsuccessful attempts, is a Very Big Claim.
Theses are there to be defended.
Nothing bizarre about it being challenged. Especially since it has absolutely *nothing* about it that makes it in any way more interesting than all the preceding ones.
Same-old same-old:
- Complicated translation tables
- Lots of hand-waving
- Barest amount of credible plain text
- No explanation for any of the very unusual statistics of the Voynich MS text
