Hoax!

I wish I properly understood why so many people - or rather, so many otherwise rational people - seem to take such visceral delight in proclaiming "The Voynich is a hoax!". Well... hurrah for you.

Isn't it completely obvious that that's just a gigantic cop-out? The truth is simply that the VMs is hard to understand, and contains lots of hidden symmetries and patterns (like Neal keys, sun/moon diagrams, misbindings, etc).

Perhaps these people secretly don't want to admit the possibility that some obscure person in history could be cleverer than them... perhaps they're jealous. Hmmm...
