In my opinion the experiment had very low chances of getting any positive result.There is an implicit condition in the experiment: words in Vochinese are words of an unkown natural language.

Not really.  It is enough that the mapping from plaintext to Voynichese maps each word type to the the same word type or word types, in a sufficiently large fraction of the cases.  Like, for example, 70% of the daiin come from the plaintext word "herb", 70% of the Chedy come from "serpent", etc.  That would be enough to make two pages with the same topic have a higher-than-expected number of shared words.

But it it not the case, under a cipher hypothesis the fragmentation of natural words can be made in different ways, 
herb as h erb, he rb, her b ...
Some fragments can be common to several natural words.
Also there will be more than 1 way to express every fragment.
All together will hide any pattern of common shared natural words of a same topic.
