It has also been said that: "statistics have not solved the Voynich MS so they are not useful".
Well then:
- art history has not solved the VMS, so it is not useful
- cryptanalysis has not solved the VMS, so it is not useful
- linguistics has not solved the VMS, so it is not useful
- archival research has not solved the VMS, so it is not useful
I could go on...
To end on a more positive note, each of these (and other) areas has added something to our understanding.
I dare say that the contribution from the area of statistics is among the larger ones.
