Now by the time this book was published (and read by school boy me), most scholars had already come to the conclusion the map was a forgery with a smaller group believing that the forgery claim hadn't been proven yet.

Sometimes, it takes only a single fact to prove or disprove a theory, hypothesis, or even an erroneous conclusion of law by a court: "The analysis revealed that a titanium compound used in inks first produced in the 1920s pervades the map’s lines and text."
