I am not sure whether a specialist can solve the Voynich puzzle better than a generalist. Certainly he/she can work on individual aspects of the manuscript better, but on the other hand, the generalist may be more able to make cross connections (imagery <> text) across sections.

I think this is basically it: we still don't even know what kind of thing we're looking at. If the text statistically behaved like a known cipher, we could attack it more vigorously.
