Thread for all discussion about "genuine/meaningless/fake" etc

[ReneZ]

This thread has been going OT for a while now.

I would just like to repeat a comment I made earlier, and applies to the recent discussion.

VMs skeptic {noun}: somebody who questions an assumption that the VMs is what it appears to be

I don't think that it is constructive to try to classify people based on their opinion. Everybody is free to change their opinion as they learn more, and not be forced to belong to some group. This is not politics, just an interest for a relatively unimportant historical document.

There should be no discussion like A-believers vs. B-believers.

I am known for being skeptical. Not about the MS but about proposed theories. I need something really good before I am convinced.
There is really good evidence that the MS is original early 15th century.
There is really good evidence that it is of European origin.

Much else is a matter of opinion and remains to be seen.
