"Gerard Cheshire
Dr. Gerard Cheshire has recently completed his doctorate, expounding an adaptive theory for human belief systems, and is now a Research Associate with University of Bristol. The solution to the codex of MS408 was developed over a 2-week period in May 2017 after he came across the manuscript for the first time whilst conducting research for his PhD dissertation. Having deciphered the writing system, he subsequently realized the significance of the manuscript to Romance linguists and Mediaeval historians, and so decided to publish the information."
Considering how bad his initial papers were, I'd say it demonstrates how inadequate 2 weeks is.
Maybe his doctorate should have been in Creative Writing because I don't believe for a nanosecond that he even had the barest notion of what was going on in the VMS in two weeks. His series of papers in 2017 and 2018 don't illustrate even a twentieth of the understanding of the VMS that has been demonstrated by people like Pelling, Zandbergen, Ponzi, and numerous others (if I try to name them all I'll miss someone and they'll be p'ed at me, so you'll have to accept "et al").
