ABF, I'm sorry but GR's right on here. Saying "it fits in with what I know about him" is not evidence in any way that the documents are real. Maybe they are, and we might find out, but taking a default position of "it's true until someone falsifies it" is the very essence of anti-science.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
