It is beyond any doubt that the majority of would-be Voynich solvers have been making the same mistake over and over. This is also true for numerous solutions proposed at this forum, some of which are still being actively pursued.
I agree with Koen that the vast majority of would-be solvers are intelligent and well-meaning people, but it stops at the point where people are completely uncritical of their own arguments.
One has to be as critical of one's own arguments as one is of those of others.
One may call the lack of this capability 'confirmation bias', but I think that it is a bigger fault.
