- 100%: Voynichese text, or part of it, contains (semantic) meaning.
- 0%: The contents have been enciphered with simple substitution or something close to it.
- 25%: The contents have been enciphered using a more complex cipher.
- 75%: The contents have been obscured, but not by means of a cipher.
- 100%: The images match the text
- 100%: The plants are meant to refer to real plants. - As far as they understood the plants to exist.
- 0%: The majority of the plants is exotic from a European perspective (Asian, African, American...) - I have no opinion, so I technically can't agree with this.
- 0%: The images have been made ambiguous or otherwise strange to conceal their true meaning - I have no opinion, so I technically can't agree with this.
- 33%: Alchemy is an important part of the MS.
- 100%: Astronomy and/or astrology are an important part of the MS.
- 100%: Medicine an important part of the MS.
- 66%: The MS is the creative product of one mind, i.e. an author. (Taking into account the possibility that one or more scribes helped to fashion the physical manuscript) - I believe there was a controlling creator, but won't commit to the idea that the scribes had no input.
- 25%: The MS is authored by a known historical figure. Let's define "known" as "has a Wikipedia entry". - I'm open to the idea, and it's quite possible, but not something I actually expect.
- 100%: One day, we will be able to read the MS. - One day is a long time, so long as you define 'we' as humanity.
- 0%: There will be a breakthrough in Voynich studies in 2024-2025.
- 0%: The MS is some kind of hoax (i.e. the main motivation for making it was to deceive others).
- 25%: Have (part of) your views about the MS changed notably over the last few years? - I'm more open to a deliberately complex encoding, including a cipher, but only a little bit.
