    You should take a look at the mailing list,  the fake theory has been discussed there ad nauseam.

    I think  you dont't understand how these things are working, the proof that the VMs is  a fake is on you and not the other way round.

    I will take a look there.

    No, because I do not need to "prove" anything. I am not claiming anything either. I am a hobbyist, do not intend to present a full-proof YouTube video with the solution at all.

    I see the possibility that it is forged/faked as strong, with the arguments outlined on the previous page. I will look for objections to that stance on the mailing list.

    To prove a "fake" or "forgery" or even "hoax", be it contemporary or modern, seems also immeasurably hard because the terms wouldn't exactly be applicable to the VMs.

    I don't think anyone has considered a "convoluted" process, a large "portmantaeu", before. Genuinly started but unfinished, later used for an unfinished fake or training for the same, later believed to be genuine and investigated, much later bound, quire-numbered, folded etc., much much later edited, folio-numbered and rebound to the current appearance.. something along these lines.

    Now I am retreating to the trench where I am going to duck for a while. I expect bullets flying over my head very soon.

    If that is cross-hatching, then the dating given would seem to be several decades too early.

    Not from me :-)
    I consider it a closed chapter.

    .. "immeasurably hard" in my mind amounting to 99,999999%. Add positions after decimal place for convolution related musings ad lib.
