Speculative fraud hypothesis

[asteckley]

Very interesting, though there are many other hurdles in the Wilfrid theory.

Is there a theory of the Voynich does NOT have significant hurdles?

No, but some have many more of them than others.

True. But the thing with hurdles is that the heights are more of a problem than the quantity. For example, any single piece of anachronistic content is a higher hurdle than a speculation on the availability of old parchment, or the potential motivations of the authors, or the gullibility of buyers, etc.
