Generally about proposed solutions

[kckluge]

I generally avoid commenting on the specifics of particular claims, largely because 99+% of the time (a) it's clear the "solution" isn't going to get any traction, and (b) it feels like punching down. I prefer to offer more general methodological advice (and BTW, I think Koen's videos do a good job of that), although sometimes I feel like the Voynich equivalent of Jeff Foxworthy's "...you might be a redneck" shtick, i.e. 

"If your 'solution' involves a hypothetical and otherwise unattested dialect of a language that you've reconstructed by 'deciphering' the Voynich manuscript without evaluating the plausibility of that 'dialect' given the body of knowledge that's been accumulated about how languages change and evolve (Grimm's Law, etc.)...ya' might be a failed Voynich solver."
