The Modern Forgery Hypothesis

[Battler]

Yes, the genuine 15th manuscript theory is the default, but that doesn't make it unchallengable. For example, the continents always remaining in the same place used to be the default and the man who promoted continental drift (I forgot his name now) was ridiculed, then plate tectonics were discovered, after which, continental drift became the default which it still is.

And in this case, and I believe this is Mr. SantaColoma's (I apologize in advance if I got his title wrong) point, I think the genuine 15th manuscript theory is unduly defualt, because it rests on shaky evidence. So as such, rather than the default, it itself should be considered still just a hypothesis on the same level as the early 20th century forgery hypothesis and the 17th century forgery hypothesis.

And given that at least two known forgeris had at the very least passed through Voynich's hands, it, in conjuction with all the other evidence presented by Mr. SantaColoma, in my opinion, makes Voynich, and anything Voynich ever claimed, suspicious.
