Voynich decoded completely

At one point (hopefully) aiming for specific languages will be involved. This could happen fairly early on in the process even. But statistical anomalies must be "solved" somehow before a language can be determined. I like Rene's travel analogy: we need to find out the general direction first, and determining the language will only be like finding the correct street in whatever city we end up in. 

I agree that this is somehow immensely difficult to communicate to people, to make them understand. For example I noticed in Lisa's recent talk that people get excited asking "could it be this or that language". It's an understandable reflex to wonder if an obscure language could explain what we see. 

Of course, with some people who insist on language x or y, a certain degree of nationalism mixed with confirmation bias is involved. This makes for a cocktail of delusion that's hard to cure.
