I believe the WH document is fraudulent but you are wrong about typewriters. Here is a small section from a typewritten letter from my files:
Note that I did not remove or slide the paper from the typewriter carriage. The insertion of the middle 'e' in 'their' was intentional (after I realized I omitted it anyway). The misalignment of the 'n' in 'obtaining' and the 'a' below it in 'take' just happened. The 'ta' combination which occurs twice here looks like a kerning. It isn't.

I disagree. Line to line is not the overlap with earning, it has to be on the same line. (the n and a below it are not a valid example)
As far as going back and inserting letters, of course that is possible.
Do you have a clean example of typed kerning?
I couldn't wait to start using word processing. Even before WYSIWYG, the unpredictability of embedding print commands in documents was preferable to using typewriters.
Irregular spacing and horizontal misalignment were consistent problems. Especially for those of us without the latest IBM Selectric.
Each typewriter has an individual signature. Forensics experts can in many cases even tell which make and model of typewriter was used to produce a document. It may well be an alignment problem instead of kerning, but IMO it would have to be examined more closely. The typist that produced (allegedly) the BC used a format and tabs different from other BC’s of the immediate time period. More samples of BC’s would be helpful, how convenient that Hawaii DOH does not want to allow people to get long forms anymore...what are they hiding?
Butterdezillion is correct tt the best way to examine the BC is through a complete forensic examination of the original BC and the transaction logs. Until that happens the MSM (Pravda USA) is unlikely to report the questions on the document.

Typewritten documents may be examined by forensic document examiners. This is done primarily to determine 1) the make and/or model of the typewriter used to produce a document, or 2) whether or not a particular suspect typewriter might have been used to produce a document.[34] In some situations, an ink or correction ribbon may also be examined.
The determination of a make and/or model of typewriter is a ‘classification’ problem and several systems have been developed for this purpose.[34] These include the original Haas Typewriter Atlases (Pica version)[35] and (Non-Pica version)[36]and the TYPE system developed by Dr. Philip Bouffard[37], the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Termatrex Typewriter classification system [38], and the Interpol’s Typewriter classification system[39], among others.[34]
