[In the broadest sense, the plants are similar. Somehow a red apple also looks like a tomato.]
Dear Aga Tentakulus,
As you mentioned, it is indeed possible to find similarities between some parts of certain plants and the drawings made by the VM author, as you also pointed out. However, shouldn't those who make such comparisons also demonstrate that the names of the plants they likened are written on the same pages? This is precisely what we did. Moreover, we have done so with a clear finding that some names have undergone no change in their writing style in about 600 years.
Can you see the gap between the example you provided and the similarty we demonstrated? To identify a drawing-text correspondence, wouldn't it be necessary to show not only a drawing with another drawing but rather that a word-term/name coincides with a drawing on the same page?
