I don't believe it is a fake cipher. I think it is a real cipher with large number of filler words. I think words in the Voynich fall into one of two categories: "real words" and "filler words". If this is the case and the Voynich is written in a European language such as Latin then any words that are repeated consecutively have a very very high probability of being filler words as such repetitions appear to be very very rare in European texts. So removing all consecutively repeated words from the text until there are no repeated words in the text ought to leave a text with different statistical properties. I don't think this process will remove all the filler words, but a large number of them.
