All one can do is demonstrate that a hypothesized method of text generating is feasible. So we are comparing two odds here: 1) the chance that the VM can be perfectly mapped to a single known text, while it has nothing to do with that text 2) the chance that someone can come up with a way to generate Voynichese exactly, even if it wasn't generated that way I agree that both odds are small. If there is only one known text the VM converts to perfectly, then the chance of that being wrong is infinitely small. But if someone comes up with a procedure to flawlessly produce Voynichese on the fly, (case 1), I'd still consider the chance that this is a coincidence. It may be possible, with enough patience and knowledge, to write a program or procedure that does the same for Latin for example. Only, Voynichese is somewhat simpler, so it "feels"different.
