@Blurtoes101, thanks for your considerations.
I think there is some misunderstanding going on here. I did not, nor most people who saw that page (except a few), think that page is a lost Voynich manuscript page. I never even thought of that. I just thought that some of the letters were (in my view) identical to what we find in the VM. I think you seem to be assuming that I was saying that is a page from the VM. No, I don’t think it is, even if it proven authentic. But, because it is using the same letters, as I stated in my original post, the find can be significant (again, NOT because it is a lost VM text, but a text that uses its letters and styles in a very familiar way).
Using your expression, even in 0.1s I decided that that page is NOT from the VM itself. I don’t know why someone said it may be, but I don’t believe it. If it is found to be authentic, it means somebody was using the same letters similar to VM in writing it.
BTW, I have not found any of the fake examples colleagues produced for this thread convincing at all. I would have rejected them right away and not wasted your times for it.
Many places and libraries are still digitizing their old volumes, and I would not be surprised at some point material is found in online search that uses the Voynich manuscript writing style or letters (though having nothing to do with it). I am not yet convinced that page is a fake. The jury on the original image found is still on, for me.
