I have been feeling a bit despondent recently over the seeming lack of consensus on almost every aspect of the Voynich manuscript. Whether it be doubt of the carbon dating as well as the myriad theories of the manuscript.

How are we going to move forward? Now first of all I accept that many people will probably not even be persuaded regardless of the evidence to change their mind. I can't see Ahmet Ardic or Rich Santa Coloma ever changing their opinions. So it seems increasingly pointless trying to persuade people.

All the different theories can't be true in the same reality(maybe they can in the multiverse). In fact generally they are mostly contradictory and so at most one theory can be true.

To me at this time, the main hope for progress is locating relevant documents in the archives and this is my main focus.
