We should look to commonalities because we want to know what the VMs connects with. That is the opportunity to start an investigation, and while many have failed, a few have had some success, not only in a general sense, but in fitting the VMs dating and in being mutually compatible as a group.
Success is difficult for several reasons. It may take some time for the investigator to reach the same level of 'sophistication' as the VMs artist. Or is that a level of 'obfuscation'? The information itself can be obscure, from the present perspective. So, while it might be said that you have to know these things in order to see them, it should also be said that these things were much more immediate to persons who lived in and through the C-14 era.
Furthermore, the four examples serve to reveal and confirm some of the tricks that are part of the VMs artist's modus operandi. Trickery and disguise are produced by the combination of disparate images and unrelated visual elements. Uniqueness results from the creation of an oxymoron. It's' an old trick.
