I would think the opposite assumption would prove more valid-If the document is falsified, so is its content If the document is falsified, then the content becomes non-evidence. The content remains as true or false as the actual evidence says it is, regardless of the forgery. Now if it's the case (as it was here) that you have almost no other supporting evidence except the forged documents, and a good deal of contraverting evidence, then yes, the content is falsified when its sole support disappears. Please note then when I spoke of people forging evidence for events they believed were true, I was speaking of the forger's motivation, not how people receiving the forged documents should weigh the evidence.
