An Essay on Entropy: what is it, and why is it so important?

[Ruby Novacna]

If you want to have a chance of solving Voynichese, you must take into account the entropy problem

Forgive me, Koen, for not understanding everything. 
I have the impression that you are talking about entropy as the ultimate purpose in the research on the Voynich manuscript. I was naive enough to believe that statistics in general and entropy in particular were means, among others, to achieve a purpose, which would be common to all Voynich fans: understanding the text.
Why are you trying to convince everyone at all costs that your approach is the best and perhaps even the only possible one? 

P.S. Do you believe that the science of statistics needs to be defended?
