You are quite right, of course. What most people overlook is that the only reason for believung the ms. is a ciphre is the sayso of Voynich. And guys like Friedman fell for it, it is a question of self-assessment. When I, the genius who solved the Purple code is not able to read it it must be something very special.
Just a side remark: I am wondering for a long time if Kircher could read the ms.
