A spectrum of theories is better entertainment, but not necessarily beneficial to those who take this very seriously and from a very defined focus. So what is your spectrum/focus? Just one opinion.

Personally, I don't find anything remotely entertaining about the idea of encountering yet more stupid theories put forward by clever people - particularly those ones who like to argue from a supposedly high (but strangely evidence-free) ground, while incessantly trolling everyone who disagrees with any part of their idiotic mental projection.
Surely only those with a refined taste for tragedy mixed with schadenfreude would find Voynich theorists and their foolishly ideological theories entertaining.

Quote:It is important not to underestimate the difficulties which lie ahead; this paper offers an analysis which is explicitly both provisional and partial. Indeed I suspect it will take many months, if not years, to test out, corroborate, and amend the analyses I have set out above, and perhaps several more to come to a full understanding of the document as a whole.
