So then what percentage do you think you have matched?
I would say that I have matched between 40% and 45%.
That is not something I can judge alone. My work has to go in front of the community to be vetted and peer-reviewed. People with good judgment might not accept some of the matches.
Similarly, you are self-judging your success rate, but whether that number holds after peer review cannot be decided until the results have been released.
One of the advantages I have is 13 years of studying medieval plant drawings (and a lifelong interest in plants). I can look through a medieval manuscript and identify a very high percentage of the drawings, even if they are poorly drawn, without looking at labels. How much of this applies to the VMS is difficult to judge. Not all the VMS plant drawings follow conventional patterns.
So if you cannot judge and it is up to others to judge then why did you introduce the figure of "20%", surely that is a judgement you are making?
There is no formal way of saying that any 2 drawings match even the ones that look most similar as no 2 are identical.
