I don't find it unpleasant or irksome to specialise in some areas of Voynich research; I don't find it less enjoyable, in fact I find it more enjoyable as I am working to expand knowledge.
Clearly some focused activity has occurred in the past. I know Koen spent some considerable time and effort focusing on finding image parallels for the figures in the centre of the astrological pages. I can't comment on this work as I know very little about this subject, however my impression is that he achieved something through this focused effort.
Maybe if people become more conscious of the reality that it would help Voynich research more if it were more specialised then it would motivate them to undertake specific focused research projects.
The Voynich manuscript is a large, complex and multifaceted thing, I think for one person to appreciate all aspects of it is very hard.
