We should assume that anything he says, he says aware of his position of authority. Otherwise, how are we to take anything he says as being serious?

A man of such expertise would not make such a comment (forgery) without having examined the whole situation. He would be aware of the implications of such a declaration. If he has decided to bring the forgery argument into his presentation, it is either to dismiss it out of hand (which he didn't) or to leave the question open (which he did).
Certainly he hasn't declared himself "in or out" of the forgery argument, either way. But he has left the door open for future argument.

I had assumed he had a background in historical botany, so I couldn't understand why he described plant structures in such an unorthodox and unbotanical (and somewhat misleading) way. It turns out he has an interest in historical pharmacy but his early academic work was mainly in classics, oriental history and philology.
