Marco: I don't see it as a sign of disrespect that another researcher's findings are discussed on a public forum. As long as it happens in a decent manner.
And I definitely agree that Bax has contributed a lot by showing a way to tackle the text on an image by image basis rather than with big statistics. There is a good chance that this kind of approach will prove to be the way forward. And as you say, on a personal level he is always kind and ready to discuss his research.
However, I also understand the criticism that the substitution only seems to work for a number of words, but becomes hard to maintain when trying to transcribe an entire page for example.
