The majority of scholars who have carefully studied the KRS,
and who are honest, have accepted it as probably authentic.
OTOH the scholars who are known frauds, such as Wahlgren,
have dismissed it as a fraud.
Also, some known incompetents, such as Birgitta Wallace,
have dismissed KRS. But why would anyone take her seriously?
