But this problem is not particular to Touwaide's talk; in overviews, the modern forgery hypothesis is usually given equal footing, as if it's an equally viable possibility as the rest. This is a self-sustaining problem I think.
To be fair, the VMS having no meaningful content *is* the null hypothesis. And somehow, some way, at least for now, the null hypothesis still stands. Don't get me wrong, I'm as taken aback as all of you guys at how much credence Prof. Touwaide appears willing to lend to the idea. I'm just saying it's not an unwarranted stance to take.
