Will some simply refuse to accept it? Will they move on to some other historical mystery? Maybe take up collecting postage stamps/coins/baseball cards?
it would give a lot of us a lot more time, i think, although those whose ideas are not rendered moot might still be busy refining things. re the bird analogy, the bird is worried about the mirror bird, i don't think the analogy quite works for a Voynich researcher re ruined careers.. afraid to post in case it reveals something about themselves to the greater public or their peers, maybe? i suppose. i don't think about it much since i am not in that position, nor do i have a theory to outline.
