I have not dealt with the history of the VM as far as correspondence is concerned.
I only follow the clues where I also see in VM. All clues if I interpret them correctly,
1. identical in time
2. they say something about the author and his origin.
But if the Merci Brief does not fit directly to the VM, I must first assume that another book might be involved. But it does not prove a fake of the VM. It only explains its authenticity. You're trying to twist evidence in your favor.
So I don't look at the parchment itself, but at everything on it. That includes the meaning of the whole, through sketches, ink, colors, motives, and the order of the whole.
It also includes the wear and tear and the holes.
All together, I think it is impossible to fake.
