I have to admit that I was often so focused on taming Zoom that I was not able to pay full attention to some of the presentations about the text, which were extremely well researched but also presented an overwhelming amount of information. All research was well presented, for example Emma explained statistical concepts well.
But as the data was being presented in the text-focused talks, I felt myself losing the forest through the trees, wondering how things fit into the bigger picture. I believe that people who delve deep into Voynichese textual statistics have developed a better feel for this, which people like me are lacking.
I think it would be extremely valuable to the community if someone was able to write an "explain like I'm five" version of these talks, trying to focus on the bigger picture and how Emma's, tavie's and Patrick's findings relate to each other. This might be an assignment even the authors themselves struggle with, but it would be an invaluable exercise.
