Hi Diane,
Not trusting my English, I consulted Webster and it says (for "proposition"):
So a conclusion may be a proposition when it is addressed to an audience. I don't see any big problem here. What is essential is whether your trail of research led (or led not) you to the conclusion that that is a map. If I'm not mistaken, it did. Whether it is really a map, will be ultimately revealed when (oh when?
) the Voynichese is decrypted.

- : a statement to be proved, explained, or discussed
- : something that someone intends to do or deal with
