A lot of hard work went into trying to establish that the Rhodes fax was fake.
In my opinion, a lot of hard work DIDN’T go into it — instead, it seemed people who had seen the results of previous hard work, tried to mimic the same result without really understanding what they were doing.
Thus apparently “debunking” a real document.
I say “apparently” because this article actually uses the words “purportedly signed”, which suggests the issue is not resolved.
