I think the American authorities who credited the OBL audiotape as being probably genuine were just hedging their bets. They would run the risk of looking foolish if they said they thought it was a fake and it turned out OBL was alive and subsequently released a videotape proving so. The safe thing to do is play along. They'll never declare him dead unless they have DNA samples from a corpse they can match against his kinfolk. Unlikely to happen.
