Quote:if individuals select a topic to pursue for some time until they can be said to have really advanced our understanding of the topic
That moment of having really advanced can very often be characterised with the vivid definition of "never", so it's no surprise that people jump from topic to topic. I do. Typically when I think I've spotted something novel I pursue the track until it turns to be either dead end or impenetrable further. Also, quite often I am forced, by current preoccupations or circumstances of other nature, to put it on the back burner. I think that is the case for many people. Hardly anyone is able to live on Voynich research, so it's rather a hobby, and one's dedication to it is unfortunately heavily limited by external circumstance.
