Did the scribes copy the letters correctly?

[Stefan Wirtz_2]

[..]
The original was in a language barely known to the Scribe, so the Scribe had to invent his own way to write down and even to read the glyphs.
Just an experiment: what would happen if a person who only knows Latin would try to copy a text in Greek or, even worse, Arabic without understanding it at all
[..]

This variant of a theory is under some doubts:

- "1 scribe"? It is more likely that there were several, maybe 3-5 scribes

- most VMS writings look very fluent, nearly elegant. 
Even though Voynichese is not cursive / kurrent. 
If somebody tries to copy unknown or barely known characters, he may "read" them as "the strange 9", "the tailed m" etc. -- but is he enabled then to write them down as accurately and unshakened exactly as we see them? 
No. At least not with many trials and corrections. 
And there were several people doing it.

- different handwritings of VMS appear between big-rounded-nearly-feminine and small-harsh-tight -- especially the smaller-sized writing style is very firm, straight and evenly: was this really a sloppy somehow-copying scribe ?

- if you want to live an experience, fetch some text in an (for you) uncommon alphabet, maybe arabic, some Indian thing or just Vietnamese, which is Latin alphabet with weird add-ons; 
copy it by hand, and you will have a result that looks far away from being fluent. 
Each sign will be a struggle and exactly will look so at the end.

- you may get out of line (even more when there are not any lines on your 'paper') when you are writing too fast; 
this will not-so-easy happen while you are fighting with single, unknown letters you need three looks for to be sure what to do

I don't think a small group of scribes copied some unknown, badly readable script with a lot of creative shortcuts and a lets-get-ready attitude here;
I think these scribes knew exactly what they do, 
were "at home" within the source language and well educated/trained in this character set.

This all is just throwing up one old question again (we should make a poll about it):
"where the scribe(s) and draftsman/-men just complete idiots, or not?"

When VMS turns out (again) to be unexplainable, this is the last refugee for many theorists:
to assume that the VMS authors made massive, bizarre and numerous mistakes...
