Transcription problem - f68v3 and Rosettes foldout

Well if the quality of scans doesn't matter then I guess we should all go back to using black and white photocopies.

Mark, are you not aware that you are being unreasonable?

Saying that what we have is good enough is not the same as saying that anything is good enough.


But it's even worse.
Indeed, the B/W copies are good enough. They were good enough for the Friedmans to conclude that this is not some sort of a cipher. They were good enough for Jorge Stolfi to develop his several word paradigms and word grammars to exemplify this even better.

I am not expecting someone to produce better scans I can only say that they would help in the instance I am addressing and in other instances.

I am not arguing that it is impossible to decipher the Voynich without better quality scans or that it could not have been done with black and white photocopies, frankly I have no idea though I think it is very likely it could. However better quality scans help and in the instance I am looking at I could see value in having them, that's all.
