This is if we accept that scribes = copyists. I, however, believe that in any case, scribes were authors. Well, at least they wrote the Voynichese text specifically. If they copied from sources, how can we explain the statistical features within their texts?

And the reason might not be just “fatigue.” Maybe he just felt like it? Maybe he was lost in thought and accidentally wrote a repetition? Maybe he didn’t have enough words to fill the line, and he duplicated one of them? Maybe he used some method, and this method gave him a doubled or tripled word?

Why is that?
The scribe didn’t need to make this text deliberately beautiful. He just needed to fill the space with various gibberish.
