So.. What should I actually be doing?

[Koen G]

Unfortunately, a lot of current ideas and solutions fall into the grey area between "not strong enough to be clearly right" and "not bad enough to be provably wrong". So, a lot of authors are stuck in the limbo of being sure they are right, but having no means to persuade others. In which case I think it's up to the author to try and make a better case of their idea.

Most, if not all solutions are demonstrably wrong. One way this happens if when the solution implies a one-way cipher, one that loses so much information that the original meaning is actually lost. In this (common) case, the proposed readings are by definition a fantasy. 

From the point of view of the authors, of course, the limbo situation is correct. Which leads to a lot of the behaviors we see in Voynich solvers.
