We are back to the Sherlock Holmes...whatever left must be true scenario again.
The theory with the least amount of assumptions is probably true...let's try Ockham's razor.
The handwriting is not Maybrick's because he did not write it.
The name "Posthouse" is anachronistic because the writer or dictator of the content made a mistake.
The anachronistic phrase "One off" is a sign the diary was written later than claimed.
When you stop playing Sherlock and start being just William, we are certainly getting into the "beyond reasonable doubt" stage, and if we follow the scientific method, there are no absolutes or "incontrovertibles", "Unequivocals" or "Undeniables".
We must play the game with rules that are realistic.
