As a researcher into expert reasoning ? the study of the processes used to solve complex problems ? i saw my work on the voynich manuscript as an informal test of an approach that could be used to identify new ways of tackling long - standing scientific questions 我研究的主题是专家推理,也就是解决复杂问题的过程,因此我将研究伏尼契手稿视为一次非正式测试,试验一下这种方法是否能找出新途径以解决悬宕许久的科学问题。
