[Article] Cheshire at it again: "Palaeographic Instruction for the Ischia Manuscript"

[zachary.kaelan]

I think he just stands out because he boasts about his achievement and because of the unpleasant way he's behaved to some of the forum members and others.  So I don't think he necessarily has a few screws loose - it's just a particularly unfortunate combination of the Dunning Kruger effect, confirmation bias, and an ego that can't even seem to acknowledge and correct mistakes like "portfolio".

Dunning-Kruger and confirmation bias are common, they aren’t what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is Cheshire pretty much outright saying that past attempts failed due to lacking the “intuitive genius” he has. I’m talking about narcissistic personality disorder or something similar.

Hi Koen,
Many thanks for your reply - I feel bad that you have invested so much time and effort, as I am entirely certain the solution is correct. I have conducted hundreds of experiments and every one has generated a positive outcome. The marker words demonstrate objective proof, so we know that the other words are correct even if they have yet to be located and defined. It's simple scientific logic. 

I might add also, that various linguistics experts have begun to verify the work. I am not at all interested in the 'Voynich code' element, as that is entirely trivial, yet overblown in the minds of enthusiasts. That is why I have not used that word in the paper. 

What is important is the linguistic and semiotic discovery, as that is what it gives to science. Perhaps you would like to participate by contributing to the lexicon. The science is all that matters. 

Kindest regards,
Gerard.

That isn't normal bias.
