I think the stars are souls

The problem with the Voynich is that it makes us feel like we are being proper scientists, finding evidence that confirms our theories

Bad science starts with trying to confirm or even 'prove' your own theories instead of falsifying hypotheses, thereby making alternative ones become more likely. The second you start looking for evidence that fits and reaffirms your expectations, you are already on the path to pseudoscience. One of the hallmarks of pseudoscience is that it focuses on finding evidence that confirms it while ignoring whatever doesn't 'fit'. This cherry-picking is the dreadful confirmation bias we see in 99.98% of Voynich Manuscript 'theories' which are not only useless but also a waste of the authors precious lifetime. I feel bad for the people every time I read I've solved the VM and it's... here. So much work and time spent for nothing.

The hardest and most important part of proper science is asking the right questions and formulating good and falsifiable hypotheses. Good questions should be as simple and unambiguous as possible and you should adopt a neutral stance towards the answers not favoring one outcome over the other but focus on just finding an answer - no matter what it would be. Be open-minded!

Yes, that's really hard for us humans because we have feelings and love being 'right' or even want to become famous. Great scientists have fallen for this so I'm not blaming anyone falling into that rabbit-hole. But if you do, at least be smart enough to get out instead of digging yourself in deeper and deeper.
