Conclusion: The translation of the first four words presented here is scientifically verifiable and highly logical, thus far from “mental gymnastics.” Such comments without further justification are indeed what is “tiresome” and demonstrate how little attention some people here are willing to pay to the opinions of others.

As far as I understand, "mental gymnastics" here refers to creatively combining one of many possible or plausible interpretations of each individual element in a way that produces resemblance of coherence. If you want a step by step:

That the l in luc3 is a f is clearly documented! You can see the stroke at least on the right side of the letter.

I disagree. The stroke is visible in IR with about the same intensity as in UV. So, it's likely this is not ink, maybe some dirt or some defect of the vellum.
In any case you cannot make a definite conclusion from a single faint stroke. At most I can say this could be f, but very unlikely.

   

The c is a reasonable assumption. 

Why?

Hopefully, no one will doubt that 3 = m and the macron = omitted letter are 100% certain.

They seem likely to many people. Far from certain.

It follows that the probability that luc3 is fucum is extremely high. 

Highly unlikely as far as I can see.

That the "u" in mulher is a capital A - how blind do you have to be to not see that based on the new high-resolution screenshots?  100% certain. 

Nearly 0% as far as I'm concerned.

Etc, etc.
