[Article] Glyph combinations across word breaks in the Voynich Manuscript
#25
Currier was one of the pioneers, but his work is 40 years old now. We have much more complete data, much better data and infinitely better tools than he did.
Even if he was the first to publicly show some effects in the MS to the world, some of his conclusions are very questionable.

For me it is therefore completely valid to start from a clean, unbiased state and not take is (partial) conclusions for granted. There is much to be learned still about the MS text, and the paper delves more deeply into one particular topic than Currier ever did.

Also:

Quote:I don't believe you propose any idea or mechanism Currier would not have trivially considered back in the 1970s: and so I believe that by writing what he did, he specifically rejected what you propose.

You clearly write that you are guessing what Currier was thinking.

So, while constructive criticism of any work can be valuable, for me the latest comment is really going overboard on it.
