What evidence would it take for you to change your mind? - Mark Knowles - 07-09-2020
"What evidence would it take for you to change your mind?" this the classic question that one should pose someone or oneself with a theory and given that there are many Voynich theories a question that one should be ready to pose to a theorist.
Now another question is how one can expect someone to answer that in such a way that it allows the realistic possibility of disproving their theory.
In terms of some of my own ideas, which it must be said do not include a decipherment, I have been finding it hard to provide an answer which allows scope for reasonable attempts to disprove them, which is frustrating.
Clearly if the manuscript was correctly deciphered it would provide much scope for disproving various theories, however that is a big ask. It seems all the different evidential options for disproving my ideas seem to not be easily attainable. It seems the options for proving are on paper a bit more attainable, but not necessarily easy to obtain at all.
How do we think a proposed decipherer can honestly answer that question in a way that it provides scope for disproving their theories?
