Has anyone debunked the "line spacing" basis for the forgery claim

[dolstein]

While a lot of attention has been devoted to the Times Roman font, proportional spacing and "th" issue, one of the other arguments for why these documents are forgeries is because they have 13 point line spacing. One of the experts cited in the Washington Post article said that the technology to create 13 point line spacing simply didn't exist in typewriters at the time. Has anyone responded to this?

1. They also said prop spacing and superscript didn't exist

This is the GOP MO--throw out objections, some valid some spurious, in volume so that the whole thing is tainted and no one will pay attention to anything but the controversy generated by those objections. Superscript was whored hard by the experts at first, even though it existed in documents already known to be verified and available for viewing with a simple internet search. Until those claims were researched and debunked, they seemed like solid evidence. That's the problem--to debunk this line spacing thing I would have to delve into the intricacies of typewriter technology for hours, and then there would be a new objection to waste even more of my time on.

3. Media experts in anything are neither on staff nor on call - a rather

amazing situation.

Not exactly BBC level work.
