Thread for all discussion about "genuine/meaningless/fake" etc

[Koen G]

The VM is an outlier on almost every theory for it. But to so easily dismiss it as can't-be-fake simply based on the effort required strikes me as naive.

Right, but we are blending two different things here. It is easy to think of reasons why someone would put lots of effort into forging a document. 

The "too much effort" argument applies to a scenario where the text is meaningless, but the intention of the makers is not to forge a likeness of an existing or imagined document.
