i guess because its still conceivable that it could be a hoax.
one of the things that is often mentioned when the hoax idea comes up is it couldve been Voynich hoaxing it to make money,
but im more open to an even more modern hoax than that, for different intent.
so although the carbon dating as well as the history makes it strong evidence for VMS being legitimate,
i havent completely ruled out the hoax theory. however it would require the dependency of those two things being hoaxed.
one can easily conceive of a hoaxer using old parchment and ink,
but one must make a substantial jump to conceive of the history being hoaxed as well.
so whilst it is true that i basically place a low probability in it being a hoax,
there are a couple of idiosyncrasies ive noticed.
so i guess the purpose of the post was to see if others had noticed any.
sometimes these are mere illusions, vapors of the mind,
but who knows if maybe one could be a diamond in the rough?
Youd be surprised at how open i would be to a strong argument that the earth is flat, if only for an opportunity to rebuke it.
