Speculative fraud hypothesis

[dexdex]

A lot of really cool things in that post, I shall surely take a closer look. The possibility that someone created it as a hoax but not for monetary gain is also interesting, though unlikely. Indeed, I mentioned that a con artist could enjoy a scam and put more work into it than 'necessary'.But, by its very nature the manuscript's creation has to be an unlikely sequence of events, so nothing is out of the question. Still, it is also worth estimating how likely some hypothesis is, in a true Bayesian approach to inference. By that token, Rene's post is I think a good summary.

Once again, thanks for the wonderful post.
