I'm just saying that the media's tactics to discredit something is to immediately call it a "forgery" which has nothing to do with the content itself, just that it was not the original source. You see this a lot with historical documents that people would rather not want to be acknowledged.
I haven't actually read it myself, just seen the knee-jerk response that happens when somebody isn't willing to outright dismiss it. And with the recent amount of things being "debunked" that tends to mean you should give it pause, but obviously not totally believe it because of that alone.

It takes someone either completely ignorant of its contents, or quite stupid, to not 'dismiss' it.

It's one thing not to latch on to 'debunked' like some soyface, it's quite another to believe the most absurd things.
