"That is to say, the writing does not agree with the hypothesis that it was all written by one person."
“A minute comparison of the authenticated writing with the writing on every page of the alleged will . . . has failed to detect in any part of the will the characteristics of the writing of Abdu’l-Baha, as shown in the authenticated specimens.” --Dr. C. Ainsworth Mitchell
The attempts to discredit Dr. Mitchell and Ruth White have relied on, for
over 75 years, slander and ad hominem and are no more convincing now than they
have ever been. Note the attempt to shift, from his conclusion and call for an
examination of the original, to the man himself. Classic ad hominem.
I ask the reader to reflect on the fact that Dr. Mitchell remains one of the
most respected forensic researchers of the 20th century and is still quoted and
cited by academics and legal experts. His professional integrity is beyond
question as is and was his ability to assess the authenticity of the purported
will itself. As the document curator for the British Museum, Dr. Mitchell used
techniques and methods still widely used and recognized, whether or not one has a
command of the language being scrutinized. Knowledge of a language in and of
itself has never been the essential for handwriting experts, and informed people
know that to be a fact. Those who seek to conceal the act of forgery hope to
confuse the uninformed about what is involved. See the link at the bottom to one
of his books available online.
