Who actually wants the Voynich solved?

[Mark Knowles]

 I think what I do find problematic is when people believe they are experts on the Voynich manuscript and so can lecture others. There is nobody alive who can be definitively said to be an expert on the Voynich manuscript. This is because everyone knows so little for certain about the manuscript.

I have a bit of a problem with expert as well. I prefer researchers or enthusiasts who enjoy studying the manuscript.

I think is easy to forget how little we all know about this manuscript. I have spent many years being interested in the manuscript, but I certainly don't consider myself an expert as even at my very best guess there is still so much that I don't know about it. I think people can mislead themselves and others that they are an expert on the manuscript, because they have been studying it for a long time.
