Of course not "whatever".
But when it comes to judging the origin of the Voynich MS illustrations, then, yes, that is essentially what I meant.
Let's take an example. Which literature on this topic has been used by any of us all? Which literature do we know exists? What percentage of relevant illustrations can be found on the internet? How much contemporary written text has been used? Does that actually exist, and if so, how much?
Are there just the two workshops from Alsace that could be relevant?
The reference to "all those other workshops" illustrates the point quite well.
