Until Tuesday, Dr. King had shown the fragment to only a small circle of experts in papyrology and Coptic linguistics, who concluded that it is most likely not a forgery

Until its proven 100% authentic to come from the time frame stated, it's fake. Even if it is authentic, it doesn't prove anything as it is only a fragment. The text could literally mean anything, as viewing from a fragment stand point is inconclusive. No reputable scholar would make a statement based on a message fragment.
