the argument about the palette of colours will be difficult to defend.
Leaving aside that many of the colours in the Voynich MS may have been added later (but we don't know)...
The Voynich MS is on parchment and all Lauber manuscripts are on paper. I strongly suspect that some if not many pigments are suited better for one medium.
More specifically, the Lauber manuscripts have several colours that are lacking in the Voynich MS: large areas of red orange and blue, while in the Voynich MS red and blue tend to be small patches, and are of a crystalline nature. This is obvious under the microscope, and can be seen in the Austrian documentary.
I agree with this. The Lauber palette is broader, but out of thousands of manuscripts, only a few come very close to the same shades that are found in the VMS and Lauber studio images are on that list.
And it's never about any one thing (at least I don't see it that way). Palette, content, drawing style, anatomy. A long checklist, more research, confirm or deny, etc. Lauber is definitely on my radar and for more reasons than have been mentioned on this thread.
