I wonder if I may be allowed to be a bit off-topic in this thread.
I am more used to seeing a similar statement: "statistics haven't solved the Voynich MS", implying that statistics are not useful, can be ignored, or whatever.
However, this is a wonderful example of a non-sequitur.
The Voynich MS mystery has not been solved. Period.
Necessarily this means that it has not been solved by *any* method.
This would imply that *all* methods are useless.
Not just statistics, or fact-seeking, but everything.
Also interestingly, I daresay that:
A hundred years of plentiful and unbounded imagination has failed to resolve the mysteries of the Voynich MS.
