One of the preceding steps is to find lookalike glyphs in Latin, Greek, and Brahmi, then use those to assign values to the Voynich script. Any researcher either needs to demonstrate a solid connection between the Voynich script and another before using it to assign values, or demonstrate potential glyph values by other means. The method of assigning glyph values by visual comparison (or worse, by using EVA transcription as sound values) is unlikely to be correct.
(It is unfortunate because most decipherers don't know that even assigning a partial value to a single glyph, but doing it with a solid logical argument, would be more progress than most researchers have ever made.)
