The fact that they only have theories to prove it was faked, there is no concrete evidence he faked the book, so we have to abide by the story that he genuinely translated it by himself with no help of others for the creation, with limited education and at a young age in early 19 century USA. Also recently we got more information that most of the things he talked on the book actually existed in the America's like types of 'horses', complex cities with kings, cereals like barley too, and last but not least Nahom in Saudi Arabia. For me it's a combination that proves the book of mormon authenticity, utilizing history and the limited information of the time. I think if we can't either prove it and they can't also (similar to Pascal wager issue) prove he faked it all you can say is well, somehow he developed the book in 3 months, thats why skeptics say he was a genius or a creation genius, that by the way is a laughable thing to say or ironic
