That’s nonsense. The unlayered version was flattened and issued after they had realized their stupid blunder in not flattening the first version before releasing it. A layered document, due to pasting add-ons to an original document, can easily be flattened, but the layering only occurs if the document has been edited — and editing screams ‘FORGERY’.

The unlayered version was released the same day as they PDF, it wasn't a response to the questions about layers. Again, they key point here is that a document scan will automatically create layers, so that they exist is meaningless, and doesn't mean it was edited, other than by the computer interpreting it. See this description of how scanning works, or please, just try it yourself.
