Koen went out of his way to look at your solution (none of us has ever signed an NDA before!) and give you thoughtful feedback. In return, you suggested he didn't want your solution to be correct and didn't fully look at it. Moreover, you also said you "always push on regardless", which kind of makes it pointless to have asked him to look at it.

What we are trying to tell you here is that those loads of people - actually hundreds of people - felt and feel the same. They didn't pop up and say "I think I might have cracked it but I'm not sure - what do you guys think?"
No, they were all absolutely and passionately certain that their solution is the correct one. Just like you. And it was explained to them why their solution was wrong, to no avail: they still believe absolutely and passionately that their solution is correct. Just like you.
Take a look at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.who is still an active member of the forum and still passionately believes she has solved the manuscript ("My solution is the truth"). You can see us asking her the exact same question joben asked you: why are you so certain you are different from all the others?
In a month's time, someone else will have turned up with a completely different solution from you. And we will be saying the same thing to them and pointing them to your solution and the others, and they will be saying "I'm not like Kris and all those others, I really have solved it."
Do I count as a Voynich "solver" that knows my translation was wrong? (just saying)
