As far as I know, Stephen Bax has always acknowledged his sources, both on his blog and in his papers.
If there are people who carelessly quote his blog failing to appropriately credit specific contributors, this is their problem, not Stephen's.
I think the problem with the Voynich community is not so much that when ideas are quoted the authors are not credited, but that bad ideas are more often quoted than good ideas.
Yes, I agree, and I did not specifically point my finger at Bax for this, which is why I was careful with my wording.
But the dynamic exists. If it comes out of the mouth of a person who has received a lot of publicity, the public implicitly believes it (and believes the person to be the source). We should acknowledge this basic problem of human nature, and take care not to promote misconceptions.
And also, I stay with my original stand on his reading of the VMS. His ideas have received no support from any quarter (including Bax himself), despite almost 4 years having passed, except by people (yes, I'm aware there is a follow-up youtube video by someone else) accepting his fundamentals and trying to build on them without critical evaluation of whether they are well-grounded.
As for questions. I don't know, I'd like to support Koen on this because I think the video series is fundamentally a good idea, but I can't quite think of a way to frame them without implied endorsement. I'll give it some more brain cycles.
