If you wish to be paranoid, there is still no proof whatsoever other than an original manuscript where you can verify the handwriting.
I very much resent the repeated charge that being concerned about unauthorized changes to text in uploads is paranoia. Words are important. Ever read Animal Farm?

Meanwhile, be grateful to the people both here and at PG who are certainly providing us all a lot more than we would have otherwise.

For most people, it would not be the end of the world even if it turned out that revisions for modernity and other such stuff were being done -- I imagine most of the downloads are by people who simply don't care about exactitude.
Don't care? THAT is the problem. We should care.

I cannot believe that folks here who complain about simple typos and too much space between lines and bad line breaks and other formatting errors don't seem to give a damn about actual changes to WORDS.
