There are some sliders that are being tuned up or down depending on the argument that's being made.
One is the slider of "how naturalistic are the drawings?". When it concerns features the creature shares with armadillos but not pangolins, this slider goes way up. When it concerns features it doesn't share with armadillos, the slider goes to zero.
The other slider is "how competent of a forger is Wilfrid Voynich?" Which implicitly bounces between "world's greatest genius" and "buffon".
