(500)There is nothing more absurd and devious than to recognize in William Shakspeare (Stratford) the poet who wrote Hamlet.

The genius at work („The 'true' Shakespeare“) 

is not the Stratfordman!

Note:
 There is nothing more questionable than
 an alleged authorship  expertise
 of an academic Shakespeare expert.

It would not be difficult to add 500 further contributions to this blog. ...soon I have to close my activities on  the  Shakespeare Authorship problem (because of my fading brain). In principle it contains 2 distinct, separate questions of very different difficulties.

The first question:
                                       Step 1: "Why it cannot have been  William from Stratford ?"

seems incomparably easier to be answered in the negative than the Second question

                                      Step 2:   Who was it ?"  "If not the Stratfordman... 

After 20 years of intensive reading and understanding, doubts about "William Shakspere  (Stratford)" as the author of  "Hamlet" have never abated but steadily increased.  He cannot have been little more than a front for a literary historical  conspiracy. It is, under no circumstances, a "conspiracy theory".

1 There is a genius at work in the "true Shakespeare", but it's not the Stratfordman! It seems not difficult to predict that the Stratford Dogma is not tenable on the long run. The Dogma will become history, sooner or later.

2 It has to make room for a Paradigm shift as soon as the answer to the second more difficult unthinkable question will prevail: 

Christopher Marlowe as the single, most plausible solution to the myriad of historical, literary and contextual, pschological, social, forensic, religious, judicial and other inconsistencies.

The authorship issue results from the compelling logic of a complex  literary-historical  conspiracy problem of an endangered poet-genius, artistically and intellectually [too] far ahead of his time!
