Well yes, more is more, but you got go start somewhere. I wonder how many theories have been published somewhere that did not make the list. Maybe mostly older ones?
What I like the most about the list is that despite its limited scope it still highlights the manuscript's tremendous power to send otherwise intelligent people down confirmation bias loops. The Voynich theorist is often portrayed as a madman, but I think the truth is different. Most of the solvers on this list (with a few exceptions who are not posting on the forum) are well meaning, intelligent people. And they all vehemently believe that they solved the MS, because confirmation bias told them so.
Even if one person on the list is right, that still means that 50 are wrong. All of these people stepped forward with their theory, convinced that they would be the one to finally save us from our misery, and probably to this day still convinced that they solved the mystery but nobody would listen.
