I'm not sure exactly which statistic you're thinking of, but you can check it yourself.
Well, it would take a longer run and a comparison to the Voynich. Already, word length distribution is going to be off if the rest of the pages look like those. The Voynich has a vocabulary of known unique words. Any generator is going to have to create a similar vocabulary. Hapax tokens. The Voynich has a LOT of words that only occur once anywhere. You'd have to match that rough count compared to the Voynich. And, here's the big one. If you create 10,000 pages of Voynich text, does it collapse into Markov chain nonsense? That alone isn't a failure of the generator but, if it remains reasonably stable even generating that many pages, then it becomes a production system that doesn't collapse. Those are the basic numbers. Then you have other things to consider like gallows usage. Some words start with a gallows, some have internal gallows. Words with initial gallows tend to start pages and "paragraphs." Are you matching those numbers closely? Voynich has just tons of possible statistics. A generator needs to match as many as possible and hopefully... it does it through emergent behavior and not by being forced. Bigram/Trigram counts. Do yours match the Voynich "mostly"?
