I was quite intrigued to see that the modern forgery hypothesis got such a big mention, especially with no real justification other than an attempt to explain our failing to understand the book .
The justification for it being a fake seems quite flimsy.
I understand that the theory behind the woodworm holes is that they infested the original binding and only nibbled a little way into the book because they don't eat parchment, which seems a reasonable assumption.
The other points can easily be rebutted.
