Spalding Theory - Is this the nail on the coffin

[_aussieguy55]

" Clearly Jockers et al.’s claim of astronomical probabilities
in support of the Spalding-Rigdon theory is
a great exaggeration. The ENSC results confirm our
analysis that the Jockers study was fatally flawed in
concept and execution. Contrary to their contention,
the evidence does not provide credible support for
the claim that the writing styles exhibited in the Book
of Mormon match any of their candidate authors—
Spalding, Rigdon, Cowdery, or Pratt. In fact, the
evidence from a correctly conducted analysis clearly
supports the claim that someone other than their set of
candidate authors wrote the book. Therefore, based on
these findings, we conclude that stylometric evidence
does not support the Spalding-Rigdon theory of Book
of Mormon authorship."
