Since the veracity of the document is now disproved, pretending the content is valid is a fools errand.


People often forge documents where they think the content is true and important, but is undocumented. That's precisely the kind of information that makes a document valuable in the first place, and thus worth forging!

For example, Nova just did a show called "The Viking Deception" about a map that purports to be from the 15th century and show lands known to Viking Mariners: Scandinavia, England, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, and Vinland (Nova Scotia). Documentation of the Viking discovery of the New World, great stuff! Unfortunately it too was a fake.
