Well, on almost every thread I see people "promoting" the theory that the contents of the manuscript is connected to Medieval European culture. And "hogging" those threads with hundreds of images of other manuscripts because of that assumption. Shouldn't that theory be censored too?
I am not "promoting" the Retracing Theory. I am warning people who build elaborate interpretations of images while implicitly assuming that the drawings are still exactly like the original scribes scribed them in the 1400s. That is just a theory. I have yet to see evidence that it is true, while I have lots of evidence showing that it is not.
All the best, --stolfi
