Maybe the crux of the matter: "Deciphering" the Voynich Manuscript is not difficult.
Many have done it. Many keep doing it. Many of them turn up here, convinced that they have finally found the true solution and managed what no one else has.
The problem is that the solutions are all different, and that there's no way to tell which one is correct. In fact, the overwhelmingly most likely case is that they're all wrong. Many of them suffer from the same well known problems. "Amount translated" is not a way to tell them apart; a 100% translation by a faulty translation method is 0% useful.
It's difficult to understand how this basic fact consistently fails to spark any semblance of healthy self-doubt in many of the would-be translators.
