Quote: Geoffrey: Now some people might argue, "Why should Geoffrey be trying to decipher and read and interpret the Voynich MS at all? If he thinks it is written in Greek in the late medieval period in a script based on or inspired by the Hebrew script of Yevanic or Judaeo-Greek, why not leave it to the scholars and specialists and experts of those languages and dialects and scripts to study and research and investigate?"
I don't think anything positive comes out of arguing that. You are entitled to study anything you want. If you don't have the skillset, you can learn it. It might take time, but it can be learned. Some people have been working on the VMS for over 20 years. A lot of skills can be acquired in 20 years.
Also, many important discoveries have been made by amateurs, or by professionals in fields outside their chosen profession. It's the integrity and rationality of the method and the quality of the outcome that counts.
