So, we just isolated the most common substrings and ran the decoding matching just these elements to Latin bigrams/trigrams, then with some probability we'll get most of the first table of the Naibbe scheme, that corresponds to 5/13 of the plaintext. If we uncover 5/13 of the plaintext, it would be immediately obvious that there are a lot of coherent grammatically correct snippets, too many for this to be coincidental. With this we can get enough context to deduce the rest of the scheme. Only after that we will be able to identify the way the statistics of the Voynichese emerge from the Naibbe cipher.
Imagine we have correctly guessed how the cipher system works, then we can decode the manuscript. Yes, I agree.
